Dubai Princess Haya Presents Trophy to Omega Dubai Ladies Masters Championship Feng
Held the under patronage of Dubai Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, wife of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Attending the prize ceremony was Dubai Princess Haya, along with Her daughter, HH Sheikha Al Jalila bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Both Dubai Princess Haya and HH Sheikha Al Jalila presented Feng with the winner's trophy. Mohamed Juma Buamaim, Vice-chairman and CEO of golf in DUBAi', was also present at the ceremony, along with representatives of the sponsors.
Starting the day with a healthy five-shot cushion on Sunday, the world number six from China went about her business without much ado, closing with a 69 to finish at 21-under-par 267, a good five shots ahead of the Netherland's Dewi Claire Schreefel.
It was the lowest 74-hole tota since the inception of the seasoned-ending Ladies European Tour event in 2006, beating the previous best of 18-under jointly held by Sweden's Annika Sorenstam and In Kyung Kim of South Korea.
Feng had her moments to reach another landmark, but fell short by one stroke in matching's Sorenstam's largest winning margin of six she recorded in the inaugural edition in 2006.
Feng, the only player from China to win on the LPGA Tour, couldn't have asked for a better finish in a tournament she dominated from the word go. "It feels nice to finish off in such a dominant matter This is my third wire-to-wire victory since August last year," said Feng.
"This (Omega Dubai Ladies Masters) is like a major on the Ladies European Tour. I have always heard about it that it's very nice. Indeed, it is. I can tell this from experience now.
"I love the (Majlis) course, I love the people here," said the 23-year-old, who turned professional in 2007."I think I putted very solid the whole week and that was the key to my victory," said whose goal before the start of the week was to rake in a top-five finish.
The Netherland's Schreefel was equally excited with her second place finish, four shots ahead of Becky Brewerton of Wales and Caroline Masson of Germany.
"I'm very excited with this finish. I think I played really well the whole week," said Schreefel. "I was just focusing my game since Shanshan was so far ahead. It was actually nice because I could concentrate on my game." WAM/TF
