2016 in Japan on Sunday, for her third victory on the professional golf circuit this year.
Lu achieved the triumph by firing a four-under-par 68 in the fourth round of the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) tournament, carding a total 24-under 264 in the four-round game at the Elleair Golf Club in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture.
The final round of the tournament was tense for the 29 year-old, who was in first place after the third round with a four-under 196. She faced strong competition from Japan’s Mamiko Higa, who was a mere four strokes behind before the beginning of Sunday’s game.
Higa grabbed a birdie at the first hole and got an eagle at the fifth, raising the tension even further, according to media reports from Japan. [FULL STORY]
