Ji tops CLPGA money list with national championship win

Ji Yuai captured the China LPGA Tour Order of Merit crown on Saturday, as the Dalian native won her third title of the year with a dominant performance at the Orient Women's China Open in Fujian province.

Starting the final round of the 15th national championship in sunny, but windy, conditions at Orient (Xiamen) Golf and Country Club, the 20-year-old closed with a three-under 69 for a nine-shot victory. It was the largest winning margin in the tournament's history.

Ji finished on 16 under 200 to tie a personal best score for 54 holes. The win was worth 75,000 yuan ($10,308).
