After turning into the primary Chinese player to win a major in advance this yr, Shanshan Feng just brought any other massive win over a strong subject on the LET's Omega Dubai Ladies Masters.
And all she did was beat the preceding scoring document -- held by means of each Annika Sorenstam and In-Kyung Kim -- via 3 strokes. Her rounds of 66-65-sixty seven-sixty seven (-21) gave her a 5-shot victory over her closest competitor Dewi-Claire Schreefel... Who become, in turn, 4 strokes clear of the 1/3 region finishers. Only one player within 9 pictures of you? That's a pretty severe beating to place on the field.
Shanshan's presently #6 within the Rolex World Rankings, but I'd be surprised if she isn't #5 or even #4 whilst this week's scores come out.
We all recognise how an awful lot of a "rock star" she have become in China after she won the Wegmans LPGA Championship earlier this season. This win will handiest gasoline the developing golfing frenzy there.
And if China is capable of placed up a very good displaying on the Olympics... Properly, I assume they may be going to owe Shanshan Feng a big debt of gratitude for being a trailblazer. As it stands -- if the Koreans are any indication -- we are about a decade from seeing a flood of Chinese professionals.
The US ladies better start working towards.
