BEIJING - China's Pan Yanghong fired a seven-under 65 on Sunday to overcome a seven-shot deficit and win the $50,000 Wenzhou Orient Yangyi Challenge in Zhejiang province for her first professional victory.
The former weightlifter came out blazing at Orient Wenzhou Yangyi Country Club in a round that included eight birdies and a lone bogey, to set a new China LPGA mark for the biggest comeback in Tour history.
Pan finished with a 54-hole score of nine-under 207, two strokes ahead of compatriot Yang Hongmei, a two-time winner at Wenzhou, who closed with a 70. Huang Meihao, the leader through two rounds, collapsed to a final-round 75 to finish equal third with Li Jiayun (71), three shots off the pace.
