Jeeno Thitikul wins CME Group Tour Championship, $4 million

Down by two with two holes to play, Jeeno Thitikul knew exactly what was needed to capture the biggest prize in women's golf history.

And another eagle-birdie finish -- for the second straight day -- made it happen.

Thitikul won the record-setting $4 million first-place check by capturing the CME Group Tour Championship on Sunday. It's the biggest money prize in women's golf history, bigger than even the winner's shares in three of the four men's major championships this year.

Thitikul shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday and finished the week at 22 under, one shot ahead of Angel Yin (66).
