DALY CITY, Calif. – When Shanshan Feng became the first golfer from China to win a major championship back in 2012, she made a prediction.
“I think in the future, China will be one of the strongest countries in golf,” Feng said with the LPGA Championship trophy at her side in Rochester, N.Y.
OK, China isn’t there yet, but Feng’s dream is further along than a lot of golf fans would have expected. Feng was the only Chinese player in the LPGA when she made her prediction. Today, she’s one of six Chinese playing the LPGA, and she isn’t the only threat to win.
