Shanshan Feng wins Blue Bay LPGA by 1 stroke
Shanshan Feng shot a 2-under 70 in the last round to win the Blue Bay LPGA by one stroke. With the win, Feng is projected to become the very first top-ranked golfer female or male from China.“I finished first in China, so I just claimed the entire world No. 1 in-front of all of the people in the home,” Feng said Saturday after finishing on 9-under 279. “I'm really happy about this, and I really hope all of the Chinese are likely to be watching me .
Hopefully there may well be more Chinese getting on the tours and more world No. 1s coming up from China.”Feng, who won a week ago in Japan, became the very first back-to-back winner of 2017. Thailand's Moriya Jutanugarn (70) was second at 8 under, only one shot behind Feng after narrowly missing a birdie attempt on the 72nd hole.“I was just trying to provide myself the opportunity,” Jutanugarn said of her final putt. Current top-ranked Sung Hyun Park (72), Ashleigh Buhai (73) and American duo Jessica Korda (71) and Megan Khang (68) all tied for third.
