Tseng gets her 3rd Victory in as many tourneys!

Wow! Yani Tseng has done it! She won her 3rd straight tournament in Thailand this week by 5 strokes.

The top 3 positions at the Honda LPGA Thailand did not change in the final round. Tsend, Wie and I.K. Kim held those. Tseng won the tournament with a final round 66, for an overall -15! Next in line was Michelle Wie who captured 2nd place at -10 after very consistent play throughout the tourney. In 3rd place, I.K. Kim ended up sharing that position with Karrie Webb, by finishing at -9. Paula Creamer couldn't make her momentum shift into high enough gear yet she managed to secured 5th place solely, with a -8 followed by Juli Inkster in 6th at -6.

These gals held the near identical positions throughout the entire tournament, not giving up the top 3 positions. Yani carded 7 birdies and only 1 bogey in her final round which came on the par 4, 14th hole. Michelle had 3 birdies and 1 bogey to hang on and maintain 2nd place. I.K. Kim who started the tourney and held the lead in the beginning rounds, ended up with 6 birdies and 1 double bogey in her final round.

Some other notables, Suzann Pettersen couldn't get any additional momentum and finished in a tie for 8th. Australian Katherine Hull climbed up to 18th to finish in a 8-way tie at +1. Additional gals in that tie were; Cristie Kerr, Natalie Gulbis, Na Yeon Choi, Stacy Lewis and Mika Miyazato.

Karen Stupples climbed into a tie for 29th at +4, while the always jubilant Christina Kim finished in a tie for 53rd at +12. LeAnne Pace who's had great success on the LET Tour, also finished in a tie for 53rd alongside Jennifer Song & Wendy Ward.

Next up......the women head to Singapore for the HSBC Women's Champions. This tournament is held at the Tanah Merah Country Club, Garden Course. The course plays 6,547 yards and is a par 72. You can follow along for live scoring from the tournament website at HSBC Women's Champions .

The tourney will run from Feb 24- 27th and is a 72 hole format. Since Ai Miyazato was not able to capture her defending title in Thailand, she'll have the chance to do it in Singapore! Ai defeated Cristie Kerr by 2 strokes to win last year's event. Television coverage will be via the GC from 11:00 - 1:00 pm ET thursday and friday and 10:00 - 12:00 PM ET on Saturday.
