Shanshan Feng looking for golfing glory
Chinese golfer Shanshan Feng is looking forward to more wins in her career.
Her win in the Wegmans LPGA Championship was the perfect item to whet her appetite for more titles. Already she is on her way to becoming the next big name on the LPGA circuit. This is a rare achievement, as she becomes the first mainland Chinese player
to win an LPGA title.
In an interview shortly after the win, Feng said that she had become accustomed to the star treatment she had been receiving both at home and abroad.
In China, she has become a celebrity and a role model to many girls who now see golf as a possible escape from their regular existence.
Talking about her new star status, Feng said, “I've told everybody that I feel like I'm a star now, because when I go everywhere a lot of people recognize me, and lots of spectators know my English name is Jenny”.
Feng played in the World Ladies Championship, held in March 2012. Her win in the event is another first in the history of LET. She became the first Chinese player to win a major LET title.
She also won the team event for China. She was partnered with another rising Chinese star, Liying Ye.
This year has been very kind to her. She has posted seven top-ten finishes to her record so far. She started the year on a great note and for a while, it appeared that she would have a brilliant streak this year.
The first tournament was the Honda LPGA Thailand 2012, held in mid of February. She scored 278 points and tied for the 5th place. This was topped in late February when she played in the HSBC Women's Champions 2012. She tied for the second place
with a score of 278.
Her performance in the US Women’s Open proved, once again, that she has great potential. She stood 4th in the event with a score of 290 points. In the next event, the prestigious Evian Masters, she repeated the performance and again tied for the
4th place with a score of 274.
Shanshan Feng is on her way to the becoming a golf legend. She has the right mix of determination and golf skills that will make her a top player in no time.
