Ariya has clinched LPGA Player of the Year and money titles and is a runaway leader for the Vare Trophy for low scoring average. If she could take the bonus, she would be the first woman to sweep every major season-ending LPGA award. Lincicome, who began her round with five birdies in a row, closed with a bogey or she would have matched Olson for the lead. "I didn't really even think about it until maybe like the fifth one in a row," Lincicome said. Ariya stumbled with back-to-back bogeys at the third and fourth holes and stumbled with another on the closing hole to fall seven shots back.
