Leona Maguire secured a top-2 finish at the CME Group Tour Championships and took home a huge amount of money.
The $7 million purse on offer is one of the largest in the history of the LPGA Tour. And while it is some way shy of the $10 million given out at the US Open this year, the winning prize of $2 million has never been seen before in the women's game.
Lydia Ko took home the historic winnings as a result of a fine final round of 2-under par. Maguire carded level par and had to settle for second place - and a cheque of $550,000 (€531,630).

Maguire began the day in a tie for first spot after a stunning 63 on Saturday propelled the Cavan native to the top of the leaderboard. On Sunday however, Maguire was unable to take advantage of her brilliant third round and struggled to get going on Sunday.
Three pars to begin her round was followed by a birdie on the fourth hole to get Maguire to 16-under par. But the 27-year-old gave that shot straight back with a Bogey on the 5th.
11 Pars in the next 13 holes with a single Birdie and Bogey to split up the stalemate left Maguire on 15-under par for the tournament.
But Ko kept her cool, Birdied two of the last three holes and took home the monster cheque for her efforts.
