Jang captures Singapore title

SOUTH Korea’s Jang Ha Na enhanced her growing reputation as one of the hottest players on the LPGA Tour by winning the HSBC Women’s Champions by four strokes yesterday.

Playing like a seasoned veteran, the 23-year-old fired six birdies and an eagle in a brilliant final round of 7-under 65 to finish at 19-under at Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club.

Her playing partner, Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum, closed with a bogey-free 68 to take outright second at 15-under while South Korea’s Amy Yang birdied the last hole for a 71 to take third place with 11-under, one shot clear of a group of five players.

Jang captured her maiden LPGA title at the Coates Golf Championship in Florida last month and has quickly made it two. “I was very comfortable this week,” Jang said. “My target in 2016 was two wins but right now I’m there so I’m going to change my target.”

World No. 1 Lydia Ko carded a 3-under-par to end the tournament tied for 15th with an overall score of 281.
