The 18-year-old New Zealander holed a 30-yard pitch for eagle on the
par-5 12th and finished with a 7-under 65 in sunny, breezy conditions at
Miramar for a nine-stroke victory. Ko took the top spot in the world from South Korea's Inbee Park with her 5th LPGA victory this year and the 10th of her career. Park skipped her
title defense at Miramar to play in a Korea LPGA event, where she tied
for second Sunday. ''I think winning and playing well at an event is the top priority,''
Ko said. ''And then if you get the extra bonus with it, it's even
better. ... The winning part is probably the most memorable. I haven't
really thought about being world No. 1 again.''
Ko also took the top spot from Park with a second-place tie in the season-opening event in Florida. Park moved back in front with her major victory in the Women's PGA Championship in June in New York. ''In Ocala, I was disappointed in the way I finished,'' Ko said. ''Coming tied second and being world No. 1, I think it's a little different right now. I think I played really consistently well the last couple weeks, so I think it's something we can all celebrate and I want to share this with my whole team.''
