Sung Hyun Park Claims 'Asia's Major' With Birdie Fest

World No. 2 Sung Hyun Park saved her best until last at Sentosa Golf Club on Sunday to claim one of the most coveted golf trophies in Asia. The 25-year old lit up the New Tanjong course in round four, shooting the lowest round of the tournament to finish two shots ahead of second placed Minjee Lee at 15-under.

Tied in eighth place overnight, Park set off notching up birdies on the first three holes and a further two on holes six and seven. Dropping a shot on the par-five eighth, it looked for a moment as though the five-time Tour winner might wobble, but a further four birdies after the turn was too great for the chasing pack, as she carded eight-under for the round.

The win is her sixth victory on Tour and takes her past the US$ 4 million mark in LPGA Tour career earnings. Speaking after her win, Park said, “I’m really, really, really delighted and happy with my play today, and I think today is one of the best days that I am playing so far on the LPGA Tour. I didn't think I would win this fast and I'm really happy. I am used to having a tough start to the season these last few years, and with this win coming so fast, I think I will play really comfortably for the rest of the year.”
