A frustrating final round, but Lydia Ko has still won some prestigious titles on the LPGA Tour.

Ko has carded an even-par final round of 72 at the Tour Championship in Florida to finish on 11-under par and in a tie for seventh, six shots off American winner Cristie Kerr.

Despite being unable to challenge for the tournament, Ko has done enough to win the player of the year crown and also the effective order of merit for the second-straight year.

She says she couldn't make any putts.

"I think the hole was smaller than the ball today, a lot of lip outs and a lot of close ones, but they just weren't dropping."

"It was the same case yesterday."

Earlier this year she won the Evian Championship, and in doing so became the youngest player to win an LPGA Major.

Ko is also the youngest ever winner of 10 professional golf tournaments.
