INCHEON, South Korea, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Yani Tseng, shooting a final-round 5-under-par 65 Sunday, collected her 11th women's golf title of 2011 with a 1-shot victory at the LPGA HanaBank Championship.
Tseng's bogey-free round Sunday boosted her to 14-under 202 for the 54-hole tournament. She finished 1-stroke ahead of two-time defending champion Choi No-yeon, who shot 68 Sunday, and three up on Brittany Lincicome (66 Sunday), Jamin Kang (68) and second-round leader Yang Soo-jin (71), who tied for third.
Tseng has won five times in her last 10 tournaments. She has six LPGA titles and five on other tours as she solidified her world No. 1 ranking in women's golf.
Yang led after Saturday's play but quickly dropped back with bogeys at Nos. 3 and 4.
Tseng took over from there, getting a birdie at the fifth hole and then posting back-to-back birdies at 7 and 8 to take the lead by herself. Her steady second nine included birdies at Nos. 13 and 15.
Sunday's championship check of $270,000 pushed Tseng's 2011 winnings to more than $2.6 million.
