YANG MEI, Taiwan — Yani Tseng won the LPGA Taiwan Championship on Sunday for her 10th worldwide victory of the year and third in front of her adoring home fans.
The 22-year-old Taiwanese star closed with a 6-under 66 at Sunrise for a five-stroke victory over Spain’s Azahara Munoz and South Korea’s Amy Yang.
“I play really, really good today. I was bogey free,” Tseng said. “I wish this year would go on forever so I could win more. But I can always get better.”
Tseng finished at 16 under and earned US$300,000 for her seventh LPGA Tour victory of the season to increase her tour-leading total to $2,873,629.
Tseng won her first four events this year, taking the Taiwanese tour’s Taifong Ladies and sweeping the Australian Women’s Open and Ladies Masters before opening the LPGA Tour season with a victory in the LPGA Thailand.
