Amateur Shannon Tan sweeps the pros and makes history by winning inaugural Singapore Ladies Masters


SINGAPORE (Xinhua): Making history, Shannon Tan became the first Singaporean amateur to clinch victory in the inaugural Singapore Ladies Masters on the China Ladies Professional Golf Association (CLPGA) tour on Saturday.

The 19-year-old showcased her skills on her home course at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club, concluding with a six-under-par 66 to edge out China's Ji Yuai by one shot. Ji missed a birdie opportunity on her final hole, a setback that could have led to a playoff against the young Singaporean.
