Seo Hee-kyung closed out the 2009 season with four titles after rallying to win the ADT CAPS Championship on Jeju Island.

The 23-year-old fired a 6-under 66, Sunday, for a 6-under 210 total to claim her fifth victory of the season.

The title defense made Seo the winningest golfer of the tour and earned her a 60 million won paycheck, propelling her to the top of the season's money list with 663.76 million won.

Four-time tournament winner Ryu So-yeon was second on the list with 597.86 million won.

In addition, Seo waqs named the player of the year with 321 points, and her 70.51 scoring average is also the tour's best.

``I have accumulated 11 career wins on the KLPGA Tour and I want to be inducted to the Korean Hall of Fame with 20,'' the five-year pro said.

``After standing out in Korean women's golf, I want to go abroad,'' she added.
