World No.1 Yani Tseng won the Kia Classic in California on Sunday for her second consecutive LPGA Tour title and third victory in five events this year.

Tseng finished at 14-under 274, closing with a two under 70 for a six-stroke victory over Korea’s Sun Young Yoo while Lindsey Wright was the best-placed Australian finishing in a tie for 20th on two over.

The 23-year-old Taiwanese star Tseng became the second-youngest player behind Nancy Lopez (22) to reach 15 LPGA Tour victories.

Tseng won the LPGA Founders Cup last week in Phoenix and also won the LPGA Thailand in February.

She led the tour last season with seven victories – including major victories in the LPGA Championship and Women’s British Open – and finished the year with 12 worldwide titles.
