Golf: Lydia Ko finishes fourth at LPGA's Meijer Classic for 100th career top-10 finish

Kiwi Lydia Ko has finished fourth at the LPGA's Meijer Classic, narrowly missing out on a three-way playoff for victory in Michigan.

What's more, Ko's fourth placing represented her 100th finish in the top 10 during her LPGA career of 210 events.

Ko carded a blemish-free four-under to move to 17-under for the tournament, with four birdies in her final round.

Ko moved into contention with a breathtaking third round of seven-under, climbing into a share of fifth, five shots behind overnight leader Nelly Korda.

Her final round flourish saw her finish one shot off the leading trio of Americans Korda and Jennifer Kupcho, and Ireland's Leona Maguire.

The trio took part in a three-way playoff to decide the tournament's winner, with Kupcho making birdie on the second hole to take the title.

So far in 2022, Ko has one victory and five further top-five finishes to her name, with her lowest placing being 25th, to sit second in the LPGA's season points standings. 

The LPGA continues later this week, with the Women's PGA Championship at Bethesda, Maryland.
