Birdie blitz boosts Zhang

China's Zhang Weiwei credited "an unexpected gift from the golf gods" for her first win on the China LPGA Tour at the Zhuhai Hengqin Phoenix Tree Building Challenge on Saturday.

Zhang opened the final round six strokes back of Chinese Taipei's Lin Tzu-chi, the overnight co-leader, but quickly made up the gap thanks to a birdie blitz on the back nine to close with a 3-under 69 over the Orient Zhuhai course and finish at 3-under 213.

Lin struggled to a 78 to finish runner-up at even par, one stroke ahead of fellow islander Chen Min-jou (75) and Thailand's Parinda Phokan (70).
