The LPGA’s Asia Swing has come to an end and Japanese rookie sensation Rio Takeda easily won after shooting a final-round 64, good for a 17-under-par 271 total. She took home $US375,000 for her victory in the Blue Bay LPGA, from the overall $2.5 million purse.
It is Takeda’s second victory in the last four months. Australia’s Minjee Lee was second, six shots back. Ayaka Furue was in third place.
Angel Yin started the swing off with a victory in Thailand. Lydia Ko won last week in Singapore. Now that Takeda has won, the LPGA will take two weeks off before resuming in Arizona for the Ford Championship at Whirlwind Golf Club.
Aussie rookie Cassie Porter continued her fine start to life on the LPGA Tour, finishing fourth to collect $129,249 ($205k).
