Saturday, 12 December 2015 21:50

Shanshan Feng made history on Saturday after winning the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters for a record third time. The defending champion shot a final round six under par, 66, to finish a whopping 12 shots clear of second placed Thidapa Suwannapura. A birdie on the 18th ensured Feng equaled the tournament record of 21 under par she set with her first victory in 2012. The winning margin was also the biggest in the tournament's 10 year history beating the previous record of six shots set by Annika Sorenstam in her 2006 win. England's Melissa Reid finished third on eight under par while 2013 winner, Pornanong Phatlum, was a shot further back on seven under par alongside Jade Schaeffer after a final round 69.
