Australia's Minjee Lee produced a barnstorming finish to claim a share of second place in the LPGA Tour's Women's World Championship in Singapore.

Lee fired the best round of the day at the Sentosa Golf Club's Tanjong Course, sinking 11 birdies to card a 9-under-par 63.

She finished at 15-under, and ultimately bogeys on the par-four ninth and 14th holes were costly as she fought her way back into contention.

Lee finished alongside South Korea's In Gee Chun, with the pair two strokes behind world number one Jin Young Ko, who shot a 6-under 66 in the final round to finish the tournament on 17-under.

Australian Hannah Green finished tied for sixth place on 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).

The South Korean was making her return to the LPGA Tour after a three-month break.

Chun shot a 3-under 69 after leading the tournament by a stroke following the third round.
