Rio Takeda shot a blistering closing spherical to win the LPGA’s Blue Bay event by six pictures forward of Minjee Lee, the second LPGA title for the younger Japanese golfer.
The 21-year-old Takeda completed on 17-under total on the Jian Lake Blue Bay Golf Course on Hainan Island after opening with rounds of 69-69-69 earlier than carding eight-under 64.
Takeda received her first LPGA title 4 months in the past, taking the Toto Japan Traditional in a six-hole sudden-death playoff.
Lee closed with a 67 with Japanese Ayaka Furue an extra shot again after a 68 to complete on 10-under.
Jeeno Thitikul, the No 2-ranked participant, closed with a disappointing 74 and was 13 strokes off the tempo. She completed on four-under.
Three different Japanese claimed top-10 finishes, with Mao Saigo tying for fifth at six-under and Miyu Yamashita and Nasa Hataoka sharing eighth a shot additional again.
