Amy Yang captures her 1st American LPGA title, cashes in on $2 million US

Amy Yang picked a lucrative time for her first LPGA title on American soil.

Yang birdied her last two holes for a 6-under 66 to win the CME Group Tour Championship and claim the $2 million US prize, matching the largest in women's golf.

"I was so nervous down the stretch," Yang said. "But I try to tell myself: `I can do this. I can do this.' I'm so happy I made it."

The victory was her fifth on the LPGA Tour, the previous four coming in Asia.

Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., shot a final round of 71 to finish 12th at 15 under.

A moment Amy Yang will never forget
