Jang’s fighting play over the closing stages secured a final round 71 that prove just good enough to beat Feng and claim her third title of 2016.

Jang started beautifully with three birdies in her first six holes but bogies at the 7th and 9th holes had the reigning HSBC Women’s Champions winner playing more conservatively.

While Jang was content not to drop anymore shots around the Miramar Country Club course, Feng kept chiseling away at her lead with five birdies in her last 11 holes to finish with the low round of the day, a six under 66.

“I was like nervous every hole,” Jang said. “Shanshan really good play today. That’s why I got very nervous. And then I’m just simple every hole because weather is just so bad. And then just keep going the fairway and the green. That’s why great score, too. Really happy today. Thank you.”

FINAL LEADERBOARD

Jang joins Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn and World No.1 Lydia Ko with at least three victories on the LPGA this season. Like Jutanugarn, all of her career victories have come in 2016.

Jang established a six-shot lead after a 10 under 62 on Saturday, matching the lowest round on the LPGA Tour in 2016.

Jang said Feng’s imposing career record and final round play made her anxious, but she tried to focus on her own game over the closing holes.

“She make birdie hole No. 15; chip in. It’s like, Oooo, awesome. Like that. After 15 hole I am very nervous, but I am trying talk about myself just be patient. Just you play. Don’t think about other player. Just play.”

Hyo Joo Kim and Brooke Henderson tied for third at 10 under.

Ha Na Jang’s victory makes it three wins in a row for Korean players on the LPGA Tour, following In Gee Chun’s victory in the season’s last major at The Evian Championship and In-Kyung Kim’s win at Reignwood in the first event of the Asian swing last week. Korean players lead the Tour with nine wins on the LPGA Tour in 2016.

Minjee Lee was the equal best of the Australians, rounding out her tournament with a two under 70 to finish in a tie for 14th at four under, alongside Queeenlander Sarah Jane Smith (73). Victoria's Su Oh (71) was a further shot back at three under and T20.
