Saranporn sees off Chen in playoff for HK triumph
Print Edition
Saranporn Langkulgasettrin won the EFG Hong Kong Ladies Open yesterday when the Thai teenager birdied the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to beat Chinese Taipei’s Chen Szu-han at Fanling in China’s Hong Kong.
The 18-year-old Phuket native tied the China LPGA Tour record with 7 consecutive birdies on the way to a final-round 8-under-par 64 to finish on 11-under 205. Saranporn’s victory, her second of the year and fifth CLPGA Tour title, was worth US$22,500. The US$150,000 tournament was co-sanctioned by the CLPGA Tour, Ladies Asian Golf Tour and the Taiwan LPGA Tour. In the extra session, Saranporn, winner of last month’s Zhangjiagang Shuangshan Classic, quickly ended it when her second shot found the green on the final hole. She then putted in for birdie. Chen, who held a 1-shot lead through 14 holes until a bogey 4 at the par-3 16th hole, overshot the 18th green. She then chipped within 15 feet of the pin but could not convert to prolong the playoff. Lee Hsin, the second-round leader from Chinese Taipei, finished a stroke back in third after a 71.
