Naples, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Lydia Ko parred the fourth playoff hole on Sunday to defeat Carlota Ciganda and win the CME Group Tour Championship. Ko fired a final-round, 4-under 68 at Tiburon Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort to finish regulation tied with Ciganda and Julieta Granada at 10- under-par 278. Granada was eliminated on the second playoff hole when she tripped to a bogey. It was another win in an already incredible rookie season for Ko. The victory is the fifth of Kos career and third of the season. With the win, Ko also captured the season-long Race to the CME Globe title and the $1 million prize. I really didnt think about it, Ko said about winning the Race to the CME Globe. Even playing today when I was out there I just set myself a goal to make myself as many birdies, just go out there and have fun. Ciganda, who shared the second-round lead with Granada, carded a 2-under 70 Sunday. Granada, who had at least a share of the lead after each of the first three rounds, shot a 1-under 71 to end regulation tied with Ko and Ciganda. Morgan Pressel was the next closest to the trio as she finished at 8-under 280 after a 72 Sunday. U.S. Womens Open champion Michelle Wie (70) and Sandra Gal (72) ended tied for fifth. World No. 2 Stacy Lewis (71) finished tied for ninth at 4-under 284. Lewis came in second in the Race to the CME Globe. She also captured the Player of the Year, the Vare Trophy and the season money title. The Vare trophy is awarded to the player with the lowest scoring average on the season. All four playoff holes were played on the par-4 18th hole, where the trio returned at the conclusion of regulation play. All three players found the fairway on the first playoff hole. Granada hit her approach to the right side of the green. Ko did the same, but put her shot a bit closer. Cigandas approach came up short of the green, but she was able to get up-and-down for par. Granada and Ko both two-putted for par to force a second extra hole. After all three found the fairway again, Granada rolled her approach through the green and off the back, while Ko and Ciganda both found the green. Granadas putt from off the green came up a few feet short and Ciganda and Ko missed their birdie efforts. While both Ko and Ciganda finished off their pars, Granada missed her short par putt and made bogey, eliminating her from the playoff. It appeared as if Ciganda would walk away with the title on the third playoff hole when her approach settled about five feet from the hole and Ko was far away on the right side of the green again. After Ko two-putted for par, Ciganda just missed her birdie putt to the right and the duo headed to a fourth extra hole. Ko found herself in a familiar position on the fourth playoff hole when her approach was hit to the right side of the green. Cigandas approach was not as successful, however, as she came up short of the green and her ball rolled into a hazard right next to a bush near the water. Ciganda could only chip her ball out to the left and knock it onto the green with her fourth shot. From there, Ko nearly holed her long birdie putt, but she tapped in for par to claim the title. This has been a big year, a roller coaster ride, Ko said. Ive learned so much this year. These kind of playoffs, this is my first time as a professional and Ive been learning lots. I think next year is going to be another fun year. With a ton of pressure on her throughout the day, Ko remained calm and put together a great round. After three straight pars to start the day, Ko rolled in her first birdie on No. 4. Two holes later, Ko drained another birdie on the par-5 sixth and added a third gain on the par-3 eighth. The birdie on eight put Ko in the outright lead at minus-9. Ko then rattled off four straight pars from nine before making her fourth birdie on No. 13, putting her up by two strokes. While Ko closed out with five straight pars to complete her bogey-free round, Ciganda and Granada used late charges to catch her. I thought Id be playing 72 holes but I played 76, Ko said. Im excited that the season is over, but its been great. Ciganda, beginning the day one shot behind Granada, started strong with a birdie, but she gave that shot right back with a bogey on two. Four holes later, Ciganda traded another birdie on six with another bogey on seven, dropping her out of a share of the lead. The dropped shot on seven was Cigandas last bogey. Following five straight pars from eight and trailing Ko by two, Ciganda drained back-to-back birdies on 13 and 14 to join her at minus-10. Ciganda had a chance to take the lead on No. 17 when she had a short birdie putt, but her ball just rolled by the hole and she settled for par. Ciganda parred the last to end tied at 10-under. Granada gave up her 1-shot lead quickly with a bogey on one, and she did not get that shot back until five holes later when she birdied No. 6. Granada fell a few shots off the pace when she made bogey on seven and nine, putting her back to minus-7. After starting he back nine with three straight pars from 10, Granada shot up the leaderboard when she made a trio of birdies from 13 and just like that she was tied with Ko and Ciganda. Three straight pars finished up Granadas round at minus-10 as well. NOTES: Ko also won the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic and the Marathon Classic earlier this season ...

Connor Williams Cowboys Jersey . -- Desperate to stop Tom Bradys latest comeback bid, the Miami Dolphins sought help from a reserve safety making his NFL debut after being signed Tuesday off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad.1. What was the first big story that you broke?Every breaking story has meaning which is why trade deadline day and free agent frenzy have maintained both news and entertainment value. For me, breaking the Joe Thornton trade from Boston to the San Jose Sharks in 2005 was a big one. I had the trade from multiple sources, but still hesitated before posting. Many anxious minutes passed before the Sharks and Bruins confirmed the trade.2. What was your initial dream job?I called play by play for the Brandon Wheat Kings in the early 90s and loved feeling like I was part of the action. I moved on to call a number of IHL games for the Manitoba Moose and was also fortunate to do play by play for a few Ottawa Senators games as well while working my way up the network TV ladder. Hosting and news gathering ultimately led me down the path of evolving into a hockey insider, however, initially I believed play by play would become my role.3. Who has been your biggest professional role model?Very good question. Very difficult question to answer. Over the years I have worked with so many strong and very talented people. I know I wouldnt be doing what Im doing without Bob McKenzie, who is a trail blazer in our industry in terms of how the role of a Hockey Insider has grown over the years. Scott Morrison is another veteran newspaper man who successfully made the leap into network television and in the early days I learned a great deal from Scott in applying good journalism in everything I do. Mike Keenan and I also became good friends during one of his TV tours. His hard work and determination was very impactful. As I said, there are so many people who have helped me and still do today. TSNs strongest resource is its experienced staff. At every level of the industry and can proudly say Im surrounded by the best.4. What is your relationship like with Bob McKenzie?Bob and I are good friends. He has been my mentor and constant source of support. We work well together and share a common passion for minor hockey. Im not quite the crazy hockey dad Bob was, but I have my moments and its always good to be able to share one or two of the sketchy ones with someone you know has been there. The best thing about Bob, he always has my back.5. How has Twitter changed your job?Twitter has changed our business...largely for the better. Every hockey market has a trusting collection of beat reporters. We cant be in 30 NHL cities at the same time, however, Twitter allows us to monitor each club hour by hour which is hugely important in staying on top of things. Twitter also promotes immediate news breaking and is always the first method we use to break a story.6. Other than hockey, whats your next biggest hobby or interest?In the winterr, obviously I spend a lot of time crafting and working on our backyard rink.dddddddddddd. Its a labour of love, but I love the set-up, the maintenance and watching my kids enjoy themselves back there. In the summer - golf, time by the pool and travel mostly occupy my days.7. Which day is crazier for you - Trade Deadline or Free Ageny Frenzy?Trade deadline has a bigger feel and sense of urgency...certainly in the build up and days of coverage leading up to deadline day. Free Agent Frenzy is equally important and definitely tests our contact base, however, there seems to be more focus on the trade deadline.8. How much time do you spend on your phone each day?Too much! Depends on the time of year. Leading up to the deadline or free agent frenzy my phone is buzzing all the time. Im up every morning by 7am to prep for radio. Normally, I start firing off texts and emails by 8:15am and the day develops based on the call-backs and the storylines I happen to be chasing each day.9. What do you see as the biggest rule change in the next five years in the NHL?Additional video review. While I appreciate the reluctance to fully turn the game over to technology, because the world is so advanced, its seems wrong not to get it right all of the time. Pucks off mesh that lead to goals, goaltender interference, offside...plays that can be easily reviewed to determine goal vs. no goal will be in the next five years.10. Do people still reference "Dreger Face" and whats the story behind that?Yes, theres the odd mention of it. My colleague, Pierre LeBrun took a quick picture of a group of us inside NHL offices in New York during the lockout. I was sitting at the time and happened to glance up as he snapped the pic on his phone. He didnt look at the picture before tweeting it. Had he looked, I doubt he would have tweeted it since I clearly appeared to be in some satanic trance. All good fun...mostly created by Jay Onrait who immediately labeled the shot Dreger Face.11. Does anyone have a better backyard rink then you?Hahahahaha. Yes. Darcy Tucker and I jab each other on Twitter from time to time. However, I believe Darcy still employs an arena staff to help him.12. Finish this sentence: The thing about people from Alberta is ________?...honest and hardworking just like the fine people from Saskatchewan, my home province.13. Do you ever read or listen to criticism on social media?Rarely. I will respond to those I follow and will retweet charitable causes, etc, however, theres a lot of hate spewed on social media and I dont have time for that.14. Can you go BarDown?Yes. My son (Mason) and I play a game on the backyard rink. Hes getting really good at it, but the old man still might have the edge.
