Feng claims Japan Classic for second straight victory

FENG Shanshan broke away with three straight mid-round birdies and held on to win the Japan Classic yesterday for her second straight victory.

The 27-year-old Chinese star closed with 2-under 70 at the Taiheiyo Club’s tree-lined Minori Course in Ibaraki for a one-stroke victory over South Korea’s Jang Ha-na. After two-putting for birdie on the par-5 17th to take a three-stroke lead, Feng made a double bogey on the par-4 18th — holing the winner from 1 1/2 feet. She finished at 13-under 203 after winning a week ago in steamy Malaysia. She has six LPGA Tour victories. Jang shot her third straight 68. She won last month in Taiwan — beating Feng by a stroke — for her third victory of the year. Japan’s Kotone Hori (68) tied for third at 10 under with defending champion Ahn Sun-ju (70), Ryu So-yeon (68) and Kang Soo-yun (71). Ariya Jutanugarn missed a chance to wrap up the LPGA Tour player of the year award with a victory, shooting a 74 to drop into a tie for 10th at 8 under. The Thai star leads the tour with five victories.
