Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko shot a course record eight-under 64 in the final round of the LPGA's BMW Ladies Championship, finishing third at Busan, South Korea.
Having begun the day in a tie for 12th, 24-year-old Ko sunk eight birdies as part of her blemish-free final round, to finish at seventeen-under for the tournament.
Starting on the front nine, Ko birdied her first three consecutive holes, before adding another on the sixth to sit at four-under at the halfway stage of her final round.
Four more birdies, coming on the 11th, 14th, 15th and 18th holes saw Ko complete her tournament at seventeen-under, five shots back behind the leading pair of South Korea's Jin Young Ko and Hee Jeong Lim.
Ko finished tied for third alongside South Korean trio A Lim Kim, Da Yeon Lee and Na Rin An, for her eighth top 10 finish of the year.
"I started off well birdieing the first three holes and tried to feed off that momentum for the rest of the day," said Ko.
"But [it] seems like there were a lot of low scores, so I feel like it's not as low as I did shoot.
"But to be able to finish on a high note after having a rough start on the first day, I'm proud of the way that I fought back the last three days."
World No. 2 Jin Young Ko claimed the tournament victory in a play-off, having also scored the course record of 64 in her second and fourth rounds.
