Helen Alfredsson wins LPGA Tour in Haikou
The 43-year-old won with a brilliant seven-under-par 65 in the final round, finishing three shots ahead of Taiwan’s Yani Tseng who was a crowd favourite at the West Coast Golf club.
Alfredsson also carded eight birdies at the first LPGA Tour event staged in China.
Prior to the LPGA Tour, Alfredsson had won the Evian Masters for the third time and joked about her age. After this victory, Alfredsson was at it again, jokingly referring to herself as a “grandma” and taking a good-natured jab at her competitor Tseng.
“Today I said to her, ‘You got beat by a grandma. You need to start beating her,”’ she said.
“I’m so happy I’m not going to be on tour when all the Chinese girls come out,” Alfredsson said.
“I’ll be retired. They (Chinese) have a great work ethic, and obviously I think it’s great they’ve seen the Korean girls being very successful. … So it’s just a matter of time.”
