Olympic medalist Feng flirts with Chinese president

Shanshan Feng isn’t just the most underrated player in the LPGA ranks. She may also be the most underrated personality.

Feng had the media at the Evian Championship interview room chuckling Tuesday over stories about how she celebrated winning an Olympic bronze medal upon returning to China three weeks ago. When Feng makes a media room presence, there’s typically more than one humorous exchange.

Feng was among the large Olympic contingent who met Chinese president Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing upon returning from Rio de Janeiro, but she made her brief introduction stand out among the more than 400 athletes there.
