Lydia Ko didn't produce her best golf in the final round. Photo / GettyKiwi golfer Lydia Ko has failed to fire in the final round of the LPGA Tour event in Thailand, sliding down the leaderboard to finish 11th. Even that seemed like it might not be enough, as 18-year-old phenom Atthaya Thitikul sat at 22-under with two holes to play, including an short par-five final hole. Of the top 30 players at the end of the tournament, only one had a final round worse than Ko as she faded down the stretch, but the 24-year-old still produced another solid overall showing to further display her contention credentials. After a busy run of events, Ko will now take three weeks off to prepare for the US Open in early June.
