Chinese rookie Wang takes first LPGA victory at TPC Boston

Chinese rookie Miranda Wang captured her first LPGA title on Sunday, edging Thailand's top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul by one stroke to win the FM Championship at TPC Boston.

Wang, a 26-year-old who helped Duke University win the prestigious NCAA US collegiate team crown in 2019, birdied the par-four 17th and made a clutch par at the par-five 18th for a tension-packed triumph.

"It's a dream come true," Wang said. "I hope this is the first of many and I'll keep working hard."

Wang fired a closing two-under par 70 to finish on 268 for the top prize of $615,000 with Jeeno second on 269 after a 67.

World number 187 Wang became only the third Chinese player to capture an LPGA crown after Feng Shanshan's IO wins and Yin Ruoning's five titles.
