Taiwan’s Yani Tseng turned the final round of the LPGA Championship into a rout, coming home 10-shots clear of her nearest challengers to become the youngest four-time Major winner in the Tour’s history.
Starting the day five clear, Tseng simply beat the Locust Hill course into submission to post a 19-under par winning score – a score which matched the best score in relation to par in a women’s major.
Tseng’s closing 66 blew away the opposition with American Morgan Pressel claiming second spot after a 71, with defending champion Cristie Kerr tied for third alongside Suzann Pettersen and Paula Creamer.
In addition to being her fourth Major win, it was Tseng’s eighth career LPGA Tour win, as well as being her second in succession and third win overall this season. It also means Tseng has won three of the last six Majors and she could complete a LPGA Grand Slam if she were to win the US Women’s Open.
