Rolex World Ranking No. 1 Yani Tseng successfully defended her title at the Honda LPGA THAILAND and captured her first win of the 2012 season. Tseng nearly knocked her 104-yard approach shot in the hole on the par-5 18th on the final day and sank the tap-in birdie putt to capture a one-shot victory over the 2010 champion of the event, Ai Miyazato. Tseng got off to a hot start en route to firing a final-round, 6-under 66. She birdied the 17th to regain a one-shot lead and after Miyazato knocked her third shot close on 18 to give herself a putt to tie Tseng, that is when Tseng hit her impressive approach into the 18th green that pretty much sealed the victory.
