Lu triumphs

TERESA Lu demonstrated why she was the top-ranked player at the CTBC Ladies Open on Saturday as the Chinese Taipei star came out blazing in the rain-delayed third round to win by two strokes in a tournament that was shortened to 45 holes.

After waiting 4-1/2 hours to play nine holes at Orient (Taipei) Golf and Country Club, Lu, the world No. 29, quickly wiped out the four-shot deficit that separated her from the lead with an eagle three on the opening hole, the 10th. She then added three birdies over her first five holes on her way to a 5-under 31 and a score of 11-under 169. China’s Yang Taoli (34) was runner-up in the tournament that was co-sponsored by the China and Taiwan LPGA Tours. Compatriot Shu Yuting (34) was third a shot further back, while South Korea’s Jang So-young (34) and overnight leader Thai Saranporn Langkulgaettrin (39) were equal fourth, four shots off the pace.
