by Maura Hutchinson
Giving the 24-year-old her second win in four starts.
“I had a goal early this year with winning two tournaments on the LPGA and I got one in China,” said Feng afterwards. “I actually didn't think I was going to achieve my goal, but I made it at the last minute at the last tournament in Florida, so I'm really, really happy.”
New Zealand’s Lydia Ko made her professional debut in Naples. While the 16-year-old didn’t finish at the top of the leader she was able to hold her own in the star-studded tournament. Finishing at the more than respectable spot of T21 with a final score of 4-under 284.
“I've learned a lot of things this week, and yeah, I'm pretty happy that my first week is gone. It's not a week that comes again, so yeah, I'm glad that it's over and then I can start a whole new career.”
