Amy Yang won her third Honda LPGA Thailand title at Siam Country Club on Sunday, carding a 7-under-par 65 to reach 22-under par.
The 29-year-old Korean finished her final round with nine birdies, including a six-pack of gains in a seven-hole stretch (Nos. 4-10).
“Honestly I was a bit nervous out there starting off the round,” said Yang, a four-time LPGA Tour winner. “Just be patient, do your best. Just when nervous thinking rises, just let it go.”
A bogey-free 66 gave Australia’s Minjee Lee solo second-place on 21 under. Spain’s Carlota Ciganda fired a low-round 63, highlighted by two eagles, including a hole-out eagle-2 on the par-4 15th, to grab the bronze on 20-under par.

“I would say 16 par-3, that big putt. I think that was a big putt to finish,” said Yang who pulled away from the three-way tie after her birdie on No. 16. Also 17 and 18 were not easy holes to finish on.”
