China’s Feng Shanshan wrote her name into the record books as she became the first golfer to win a second Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia title following an impressive final round in which she shot a 4-under par 67 to finish at 17-under par overall, maintaining her extraordinary form on Malaysian soil.
Feng started the final round in less than spectacular fashion, with a bogey on the first hole, but remained calm to enjoy a bogey-free remaining round, while picking up five birdies along the way.
Said Feng: “I have to say thanks to my caddie. I met him here five years ago and we’ve been working together since then. Every time I’m playing here, I play great, and I couldn’t have done it without his help."
“I think we make a good team. Not just my caddie, but also my coach, Gary Gilchrist, and my parents. I’m sure they are watching live now. I haven’t talked to them but hopefully they’re happy.”
Speaking on behalf of tournament sponsor, Chief Executive Officer of TPC Kuala Lumpur and Chairman of Tournament Committee, Steven Thielke, said, “Congratulations to Feng Shanshan for an outstanding display of golf over four days. She is a highly deserving champion and her record at TPC Kuala Lumpur speaks for itself.
“We have enjoyed another wonderful tournament and our thanks goes to the players on the LPGA Tour and the fans who have followed the action on course and contributed to the exciting atmosphere off it.”

It
looked to be a quiet day for Amy Yang as she made even-par on the
front nine in round two of the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia. But a
spectacular eagle on the 11th hole, followed by a bogey
and birdie on holes 14 and 16 were enough to give the South Korean a
three shot cushion at the half way stage of the tournament.
Speaking
on her eagle, she said, “It was about 125 yards and I was using my
pitching wedge. It came off really solid off the face and it looked
like it was going to go really close, but it actually went in. When
the ball disappeared, I went, ‘Yay finally!’”
Yang
also refused to let the late-round rain delay throw her off her game.
She said, “I was actually getting a little frustrated about not
making putts, and I was getting hungry. So I went and ate lunch
during the break, and it actually gave me some time to think about
what was going on and how to finish the next three holes, which
helped me.”

It
was a bogey free round for Amy Yang as she scored an 8-under par 63
to finish top of the leader-board after the first round of the Sime
Darby LPGA Malaysia. The South Korean, who is yet to register a win
on the LPGA Tour this year, is currently two strokes ahead of Marina
Alex, who is in second place at 6-under par 65. Her score today was
also just one shy of her personal best.
Speaking
about her good start, the 27-old said, “I was a little bit tired
this morning, but when I got to the tee, I decided to just play. I
hit a lot of solid shots today and my putting was really good too.
“I’m
just going to keep it simple because there’s a lot of golf to play
the next three days, and the weather is hot out there too, so I’ll
be trying to get as much shade as I can.”
Yang
will face stiff competition over the next few days, with Americans
Marina Alex and Michelle Wie putting up strong showings in round one
as well.
