Amateur wins on China LPGA

Chinese amateur Feng Simin captured the 500,000 yuan ($78,600) Wuhan Orient Masters Challenge in dominant fashion on Saturday when the 17-year-old Beijing native closed with one-under 71 for a six-stroke victory to become the first amateur and youngest ever winner on the China LPGA Tour.

The Florida-based teenager shot three consecutive rounds under par at Orient Wuhan, the only player in the field to do so, for a 54-hole score of seven-under 209.

"Definitely it's a great encouragement. This is a professional event with a strong field, it means a lot," Feng said. "It's been a long time since I've won in China. I think the last win was when I was nine-years-old. Since I came home from the USA I have been playing only professional events, so I didn't expect myself to win. So this win is a great honor."
