Liu, 16, makes history with Jiangsu victory
Print Edition
LIU Wenbo made history at the weekend when the 16-year-old Chinese amateur won the Zhangjiagang Shuangshan Challenge in Jiangsu Province to become the youngest winner on the China LPGA Tour.
The Beijing teen, who closed with a 2-under 70 on Saturday to finish on even-par 216, accomplished the feat in dramatic fashion in beating Thailand’s Kanyalak Preedasuttijit (73) with a par on the first hole of a playoff at Shuangshan Golf Course. China’s Li Jiayun (71) was 3rd, tied with Chinese Taipei’s Chen Yu-ju (69) and Thai Saranporn Langkulgasettrin (71). Liu, age 16 years, 2 months and 11 days, became the 4th amateur to win on Tour. She bettered the previous record for youngest winner set by Wang Ziyi who captured the 2014 Xiamen Challenge at age 16 years, 5 months and 2 days.
