Ariya Finishes Two Shots Behind Masson in Canada

World No 2 Ariya Jutanugarn shot a final 70 to settle at joint fifth in the Manulife LPGA Classic in Ontario, two shots behind Belgian winner Caroline Masson.

Ariya who just won the Canadian Open last week was trailing Masson a one stroke going into the final hole. But a poor tee-off cost her a drop shot before she ended with a bogey.

 Her total score of 14-under-par 274 placed her at joint fifth along with world No 1 Lydia Ko of New Zealand and Suzann Petterson of Norway.
 
Masson shot a 67 and a total 16-under-par 272 for her maiden win on the LPGA Tour. A stroke behind at tied second were Karine Icher of France, Minjee Lee of Australia and Mi Hyang Lee of South Korea.
