AMY YANG WINS SUNCOAST LADIES EVENT BY NINE STROKES





South Korea's LPGA Tour player Amy Yang showed her class in blowing away a field that included other LPGA Tour Swedish players Anna Nordqvist and Maria Hjorth to win the the $2,000 first prize at Metrowest Golf Club, Orlando by NINE strokes.
Amy, 22, pictured from the LPGA website, went clear of the field with a course record, 10-under-par 62 in the second round and she followed that up with another best-of-the-day five-under 67 for a brilliant 54-hole aggregate of 16-under-par 200.
New Jersey's Joanna Coe, the first-round leader with a 69, and Solheim Cup player Anna Nordqvist tied for second place on seven-under 209. Both both 70 in their last rounds. Each earned $900.
+Amy Yang is the youngest ever winner on the Ladies European Tour. At the age of 16 years, 6 months, while still an amateur, she won the ANZ Ladies Masters. In 2008 she won the Ladies German Open. She finished fifth in the Ricoh Women's British Open at Royal Lytham in 2010.
