Feng avoids leaderboards, birdies 72nd hole to break drought
Feng (63) sinks clutch birdie on 18th for win at Thornberry Creek
0:002:20Shanshan Feng ended her victory drought in style Sunday at the Thornberry Creek Classic.
She beat Ariya Jutanugarn in a final-round duel to remind us all that she isn’t just a former world No. 1 and major champion. She’s still one of the world’s best ball-strikers.
Feng stuck a 7-iron to 3 feet at the last and made birdie to beat Jutanugarn by a shot.
She did this moments after Jutanugarn made birdie at the last in the pairing in front of her, but she didn’t realize she needed to make the putt to win until she looked at a leaderboard at the 18th green.
“Made me a little nervous,” Feng said.
