Feng aims to break Open jinx

As a teenager, Feng Simin grabbed the attention of golf fans when she became the first amateur to win a China LPGA Tour event in Wuhan, Hubei province, in 2012.

Now 21, Feng is looking to break South Korea's dominance at the Hyundai China Ladies Open - a championship stranglehold that has stretched to 10 years.

"The China Open has become one of my favorite tournaments because it is the last event of the year and the chance to play with so many top international players," Feng, a Beijing native, said after firing a 3-over 75 in Friday's opening round at Lion Lake Country Club in Qingyuan, Guangdong province.
