rnFeng, the 22-year-old from Guangzhou, playing in the second-to-last group, birdied the final two holes for a two-shot lead before Fudoh narrowly missed her eagle attempt from 50 yards out on the 18th and had to settle for a birdie, and second place.

rnFeng started the day three strokes behind Fudoh, before firing a 4-under par 68 to finish at 8-under 208 pocketing ¥12.6 million. Fudoh began the final round with a one shot lead over Oyama but could only manage an even par round of 72, the Japan LPGA Tour all-time career earnings leader losing ground with bogeys at the 6th, 9th and 15th holes. Feng’s bogey-free back nine was the catalyst for the win, only hitting the lead after her birdie on the 17th hole.

rnAfterwards she said, “I&aposve won twice in my rookie season on this tour, so Japan is definitely a lucky place for me. I didn&apost hit the ball too well today, but my approach shots and putts went really well in tough situations.”
