NEWS RELEASE FROM IMG 

Shanshan Feng, 22, the first player from mainland China to win a golf Major on any Tour - The LPGA Championship, has confirmed her participation in the 37th Ricoh Women’s British Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake from September 13 to 16.

Feng explained, “I am really looking forward to playing in the Ricoh Women’s British Open. My passport is actually at the British Embassy right now so I can get my visa so I am already thinking about it for sure!

"Everyone will want to win the final major of the year and hopefully I will feel a little extra confidence to be announced on the tee as a major winner. Every year I’ve learnt a little more about playing links golf and my results have improved each time so hopefully this will be my year.“

Feng continued, “I am very proud to be the first major winner from mainland China although I think I’m just lucky. There are many good players from China and young players coming through right now. I am the first one to win a major but I’m sure there will be a second, third, and many more.”
