Thursday, August 4, 2011

Yani Tseng made golf history by winning the 2011 Ricoh Women’s British Open championship at the legendary Scottish Carnoustie Golf Links on Sunday. At the age of 22 years and 6 months she is the youngest professional golfer of either gender to earn five major titles. Her final round of 69 allowed her to overcome a two shot deficit to third round leader Caroline Masson of Germany and finish with a four shot cushion over runner-up Brittany Lang of USA.

The Ricoh Women’s British Open is one of four designated major championships on the LPGA Tour and the final such tournament on the 2011 schedule.
