A front runner since day two, Jang saved her best for last, carding a 7-under par 65 in round four to finish with a total of 269 at 19- under. Eagling the final hole of the tournament underlined why she was the one to watch all week.

Inbee Park, the then World No. 2, won by two shots over then Wolrd No. 1 Lydia Ko to take home the title at HSBC WOmen’s Champions. In a week that included 15 birdies and no bogeys, Park added ‘Asia’s Major’ to her five other wins. Both she and Ko made birdies at the seventh to stay locked at 14- under par making for an exciting wire-to-wire match for fans. Ko eventually dropped back to 13 under leaving room for Inbee to forge ahead for the victory.

Paula Creamer won the HSBC Women’s Champions by holing a sensational 75 foot putt at the second extra hole to finish ahead of Azahara Munoz. Her first win since her 2010 US Open Victory and the 10 win of her LPGA career was met with a rising roar from the crowd.

She shot a final round 66 to finish the tournament at 11-under 277, two shots ahead of Australia’s Katherine Hull. Living up to her nickname ‘Final Round Queen’, a moniker her fans gave her after regularly coming from behind to win, the victory brought Shin’s LPGA Tour wins to a total of 4.

Lorena Ochoa won the inaugural HSBC Women’s Champions with a runaway victory. Closing with a 4- under 68 to leave Annika Sorenstam 11 strokes behind. Ochoa finished at 20-under 68 on Tanah Merah’s Garden Course and added win number 18 to her total of LPGA Tour victories.
