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.
Lee finished in a tie for second – two shots behind World No.1 Jin Young Ko who had a final round six-under 66.
Her compatriot Hannah Green recorded her second round of 66 for weekend to be in a tie for sixth at 13-under.

Ko has won six times in her past 10 starts and her Sunday round set the LPGA Tour's all-time record for most consecutive rounds in the 60s (15) and most consecutive sub-par rounds (30).
She was making her return to the LPGA Tour after a three-month break which included time with her family in South Korea before a few weeks of intensive practice in Palm Springs, California.
