New Zealand's teen sensation Lydia Ko shot a three-under 69 for a total of 205 in Taiwan's Swinging Skirts World Ladies Masters tournament on Sunday, capturing her first title since turning professional in October.

The 16-year-old, who was just one shot behind world No.5 Ryu So-yeon of South Korea after two rounds, ended three strokes ahead of Ryu, who struggled with her putting on the back nine to end on 73.

Ko has recorded five wins in professional tournaments as an amateur.

World No.1 Park In-bee of South Korea carded two-under 70 for a total of 209, which put her third.

A total of 95 players competed in the three-day event.
