Lydia Ko finished well in the latest tournament on the LPGA Tour as she claimed a share of seventh.

The Kiwi teenager fired a bogey-free four-under 68 in the final round today of the rain-affected Blue Bay LPGA event that was reduced to 54 holes due to persistent rain during the weekend in China.

That final round took Ko to nine-under but front-runner Lee-Anne Pace continued her good week as she carded a five-under 67 today to finish at -16 as the South African completed a two-stroke victory.

Ko banked just under $68,000 for her efforts and was projected to remain in third on the Race to the CME Globe standings, which is the season-long points race on the LPGA Tour.
