Sanya, China (AP) – Rio Takeda pulled an 8 -mine Blister of 64 Sunday to win the LPGA Blue Bay tournament by six shots in front of Minjee Lee of Australia, the second LPGA title for the young Japanese.
Takeda, 21, finished 171-271 for the four rounds on the southern island of Hainan in China. She opened with cycles of 69-69-69 before hiding the 64.
Lee closed with a 67 to finish 277 with an Ayaka Japanese fury, another kick after a 68 to finish 10-mine of 278.
Takeda won her first LPGA title four months ago, taking Toto Japan Classic in a six -hole qualifying series.
Jeeno Thitikul, player No. 2 of the LPGA, closed with a disappointing 74 and was 13 rhythm strokes. She finished on 4-sous 284.
It was also a disappointing tournament for Ruoning Yin of China. It is classified n ° 4 but finished with a 73 and was 19 shots from the winning rhythm.
