( CNN ) To beat the world 's best golfers you often have to be flawless -- and that 's what Inbee Park managed at the HSBC Women 's Champions tournament , playing 72 holes without dropping a shot . The South Korean triumphed by two strokes from teen prodigy Lydia Ko , who took Park 's world No . 1 ranking last month -- at 17 the youngest player of either gender to reach the summit . Ko , born in Korea but raised in New Zealand , had to settle for second place at Sentosa in Singapore on Sunday -- International Women 's Day -- after winning her previous two events . `` She played great all week , '' Ko said of her 26-year-old rival , who will stay second when the new rankings are released next week . `` No bogeys around here and on a course where you can hit a good shot and you can get bad luck . That 's pretty phenomenal . '' Park , who finished 15 under par , won not only $ 210,000 for winning the LPGA event but also $ 7,500 from a bet with her dad -- with the stakes at $ 500 for a birdie and $ 1,000 for a bogey . `` This week was just incredible , '' said Park , who has held the No . 1 ranking for a total of 73 weeks in two periods and now has career prize money of nearly $ 10.3 million . `` I do n't think I can even believe myself that I did n't make any bogeys for 72 holes . '' Park led the tournament from start to finish , and closed with two-under-par 70 -- a score matched by Ko -- as she claimed her 13th LPGA Tour title . She has now played 92 holes without dropping a shot , going back to the third round of last week 's Honda LPGA Thailand , where she tied for seventh . `` It 's good to have a family here and they are big energy , '' said Park , who got married last October . `` This week just went so quick . I did n't have to think about golf when I 'm not on the course , so I think that was a big help . '' Former world No . 1 Stacey Lewis finished third , two shots behind Ko , as the American finished with a par 72 . `` It was fun being in the final group . That 's where you want to be . But even par usually does n't cut it , '' said Lewis , who won the tournament in 2013 .
