P.K. Kongkraphan claimed her third victory this year on the TLPGA Tour today at the Taiwan Golf Club (nicknamed by the locals as “Old Tamsui Course”). She finished in dominant fashion after a final low-round 68 to lift the newly-crafted trophy by a winning margin as wide as ten shots.

“The weather conditions were kind of a torture this week because of the typhoon. I never thought I could play this well in these conditions,” the Thai player said. “I made an important par putt from a difficult position on the 12th green, and it was when I knew I had this in the bag. It was a nice feeling just cruising through the final holes without any pressure at all. I’m really proud of what I was able to put up this entire week.”

Kongkraphan notched a total of six birdies on the final day, making her final total a remarkable 8-under 208. This win in worth NT$540,000.

In fact, this is Kongkraphan’s fourth win in one season, adding into account one victory from her home tour in Thailand.

Also from Thailand, Kornkamol Sukaree needed just an even-par 72 on Friday to take away the runner-up prize. Four local Taiwanese players, Wang Li-Ning (王莉甯) (219), Chang Hsuan-Ping (張瑄屏) (220), Chen Ling-Jie (陳伶潔) (221), and Chang Ya-Chun (張雅淳) (222), finished with one shot adrift each other in solo no.3 to no.6.

Babe Liu (劉嬿) and Kuo Ai-Chen (郭艾榛) wrapped it up in a tie for seventh.

Twelve senior players were featured today as well in an 18-hole special event, with Huang Yu-Chen (黃玉珍) and Tseng Hsiu-Feng (曾秀鳳) registering matching 78s. A tiebreaker decided by the back-nine score gave Huang the final honor.
