Yani Tseng successfully defended her British Open championship on Sunday, posting a four-stroke victory.
The Taiwanese golfer was two shots back in second heading into the final round, but a final round of 69 was good enough for the win at Carnoustie, Scotland, for a total 16-under 272.
Tseng, who turned 22 in January, has won five golf majors faster than any man or woman. The only major to have eluded her is the U.S. Open.
In just her fifth year as a pro, she is halfway to Annika Sorentsam’s total of 10 majors, and has tied Amy Alcott and Se Ri Pak at five.
The all-time mark is 15 majors, set by Patty Berg.
