From LPGA Communications:

It is Ko’s sixth win in her last 10 LPGA Tour starts and sets two new benchmarks in the record books, marking her 15th consecutive round in the 60s and her 30th consecutive round under par.
“I am just proud of myself to record 60s, 15 rounds like straight. So I'm so happy,” said Ko. “I feel amazing right now.” Read more
From Golf Australia, by AP:
West Australian Minjee Lee has fallen agonisingly short after a spectacular final round charge in the LPGA Tour's HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore.
Lee produced the best round of the day, making 11 birdies to card a nine-under-par 63.
She finished at 15-under and ultimately bogeys on the par-4 9th and 14th holes were costly as she fought her way back into contention. Read more
From Golfweek, by Beth Ann Nichols:
Jin Young Ko’s made history at the HSBC Women’s World Championship as she collected her sixth LPGA victory in 10 starts.
Ko became the first player in tour history to record 15 consecutive rounds in the 60s, breaking a benchmark she shared with Annika Sorenstam and So Yeon Ryu. She also became the first player to record 30 consecutive rounds under par, eclipsing a mark set by Annika Sorenstam in 2004 and Lydia Ko in 2014-15. Read more
From The Globe and Mail:
World No. 1 Jin Young Ko birdied the 18th hole on Sunday for a 6-under 66 to win the LPGA Tour’s HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore by two strokes over fellow South Korean player In Gee Chun and Australian Minjee Lee.
Ko has won six times in her last 10 starts and her round set the LPGA Tour’s all-time record for most consecutive rounds in the 60s (15) and most consecutive sub-par rounds (30).
Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., shot a 67 to finish in a group tied for sixth place [together with Australia's Hannah Green], four strokes behind Ko. Read more
