SHANSHAN FENG CLAIMS SIME DARBY LPGA MALAYSIA TITLE

Image
Shanshan Feng is no stranger to the winner's circle as this is her fifth win on the LPGA Tour and first since winning the 2014 Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia . Feng from China shot a final round 67 to grab her first victory of 2016 season as she defeated Suzann Pettersen by three-strokes. Feng started the day with a bogey on the first hole but recovered nicely with birdies on two of her first five holes, finishing out the round with three birdies on the back nine. The eventual winner started the day with a two-shot lead after a 64 in the third round. Feng has been one of the LPGA's hottest players of late, with top-4 finishes in each of her last four starts. Pettersen finished second at 14-under par while defending champion Jessica Korda finished strong with the final round of 70 to share at 12th place. 2016 Sime Darby LPGA (Final) 267 - Feng Shanshan (CHN) 66-70-64-67 (-17) 270 - Suzann Pettersen (NOR) 66-72-66-66 (-14) 272 - Anna Nordqvist (SWE) 67-68-67-7

At Shah Alam Stadium, Argentine striker Jorge Pereyra Diaz gave JDT the lead after 64 minutes to become the league's top scorer with 18 goals, and almost secure his side's unbeaten status on the domestic front. Ahmad Hazwan Bakri gave the Red Giants some cheer with an equaliser six minutes later. But Amri, who was selected in Malaysia's squad for the AFF Cup this week, finished off the Southern Tigers season on a high after S. Chanturu 's assist. The victory comes after their bitterly disappointing 3-1 defeat to Bengaluru FC of India in Wednesday's AFC Cup semifinals that sent the 2015 champions out of the competition. But they still finished the season wit
