Shannon Tan created history by becoming the first Singaporean amateur to win the inaugural Singapore Ladies Masters on the China Ladies Professional Golf Association (CLPGA).
Playing on her home course at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club, the 19-year-old closed with a six-under-par 66 for a one-shot victory over China's Ji Yuai, who rued a missed birdie on her closing hole that would have forced a playoff.
In contrast, a composed Tan calmly sank a 10foot birdie putt in the 54-hole event for a winning total of 10-under-par 206, making her the first Singapore golfer since Mardan Mamat in 2006 to win an international golf tournament and at the same Masters course at Laguna National.
"This (win) is truly special, especially in front of all my friends and family who have been supporting me all week.
