REUTERS - Amy Yang's scintillating final round at the KEB Hana Bank Championship fell just short of earning her the title on Sunday but the South Korean's record-breaking back nine did help her create a piece of LPGA history.

Yang started her round slowly but was brilliant after the turn, tying the course record with a 10-under-par 62 to vault up the leaderboard and finish two shots adrift of American Lexi Thompson in a tie for fourth on 13-under for the tournament.
