Lydia Ko and Ryan Fox continue to shine

"I did want to win the other tournaments, but I felt like I had to win this one".

"I mean last year has been the most fantastic rookie year for me".

A tearful Tseng told reporters after the round that she was in her best condition on Saturday and really believed that she would do well.

With her victory, Ko is projected to take over the No1 spot from South Korea's Park Inbee in the Women's World Golf Rankings.

Fox is three-under overall and in a tie for 23rd at the Foshan Open, but by making the cut will remain inside the top 15 in the Order of Merit at the end of the season, qualifying for the top tier next year. Horton Smith set the PGA Tour mark of 21 years, 7 months in 1929, while Nancy Lopez set the previous LPGA Tour record in 1979 at 22 years, 2 months, 5 days.

In a chat with media after her win, Ko said that regaining the top ranking spot was not something she was thinking about instead her focus was on finishing on top of Sunday's leaderboard. "If she was not a good person, I might be jealous, but I totally respect [her]". "To have beaten her record, it's an honor".

Ryu shot a 68, and Ji had a 70.

In second place, Ryu and Ji finished 11-under par with Charley Hull in fourth at 10-under par.

Hsu Wei-ling was the top-ranked Taiwanese on one-over 289 after a 73, while Kaohsiung-born Candie Kung was a shot further back. "But I was looking at it and thought it was flying enough and then I saw it kind of landed a yard or two short of the green".

Her only slip-up during her round was a dropped shot on the par-three seventh.

The lead went from seven to eight when the Kiwi stuffed her tee-shot at the par-three 14th to three feet and, clearly not content to just par her way home, birdie No 25 for the week followed at the par-five 18th. The 18-year-old triumphed at the Evian Championship in France last month to become the youngest major champion in women's history, while she and Park are now tied for both the tour victory lead with four and the lead in the player of the year points race.
