BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Lydia Ko earned a one-shot win over Danielle Kang at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio.

Ko pulled ahead with a birdie on the 15th hole and matched scores with Danielle Kang the rest of the way, closing with a 3-under 69.

Ko won for the second straight season after enduring a three-year slump. It’s the 17th victory of her LPGA Tour career.

Kang closed with a 68 in her bid to win back-to-back for the second time in three years. She won the season-opening Tournament of Champions a week ago in Orlando.
