Shanshan Feng joined the LPGA Tour in 2008 at 19. Her breakthrough year was 2012 when she became the first Chinese golfer to win on the LPGA Tour and the LET, her first LPGA win being a major, the Wegmans LPGA Championship. A very consistent player, Feng has only missed two cuts since 2011, making all 24 in 2014. She finished top-10 in four majors in 2014, including second at the Women’s British Open, and was 15th in the other. She also won the season-ending LET Omega Dubai Ladies Masters for the second time in three years and finished the year fifth in the world. If her putter is working, she will be hard to beat.
