Yang claims 5-stroke LPGA Thailand victory

AMY Yang rarely wavered with a big lead during the final round of the LPGA Thailand, shooting a 4-under 68 to win by five strokes yesterday.

Due to rain delays, Yang was forced to play her final five holes of the third round yesterday morning, and she led by five strokes after 54 holes. Later in the day, the 2015 Thailand champion saw her lead reduced to three shots on several occasions, but the South Korean held on to post a record 22-under 266 on the Siam Country Club’s Pattaya Old Course. The previous tournament record of 21 under was held by Suzann Pettersen in 2007 and Ai Miyazato in 2010. So Yeon Ryu, the 2011 US Women’s Open champion, matched Yang with a 68 to finish second.
