A blistering nine-birdie final round by South Korean Amy Yang has consigned Australian Minjee Lee to runner-up at the LPGA Thailand.

Yang became a three-time winner of the event after her final round 65 at Siam Country Club Pattaya saw her finish the tournament at 22-under.

Lee went with her most of the way and finished at 21-under, her birdie on the last not enough as Yang also posted one to secure the title.
