22-year-old Shanshan Feng birdied 4 of her last 13 holes in the final round of the Yonex Ladies to blow past Ritsuko Ryu and Serena Aoki and force a playoff with Yukari Baba, which she won on the 2nd hole for her 3rd JLPGA victory in the last season and a half.
The 24-year-old Ryu, who's having the best season in her career, birdied 4 of her 1st 7 holes to get to -10 for the week, but couldn't make another birdie the rest of the way and made 3 bogeys to fall 1 shot out of the playoff, tied with 23-year-old Bo-Mee Lee (who fired the low round of the week, a 6-birdie 67, today) for 3rd. Meanwhile, the 19-year-old Aoki, playing in only her 4th JLPGA event of her career, got it to -9 when she birdied the par-5 6th, but also went birdieless the rest of the way and made 3 bogeys in the middle of her round to end up in a tie for 5th with Teresa Lu.
With the top 3 players on the JLPGA money list taking the week off, nobody else in their lead chase pack could make a big move on them, although Sakura Yokomine did get a top 10.
