Golf Betting Lines

02/19/2012 - Chonburi, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Yani Tseng birdied the final two holes Sunday to fend off Ai Miyazato and win the Honda LPGA Thailand.

In a battle of the last two winners of this event, Tseng fired a six-under 66 to repeat as champion. She finished at 19-under-par 269 to pick up her 13th LPGA Tour title.

Miyazato, the 2010 winner, posted a four-under 68 to take second place at minus-18.

Jiyai Shin, who briefly had a share of the lead on Sunday, carded a five-under 67 to end alone in third at 17-under-par 271.

Playing in the penultimate group, Shin birdied the 17th on the Pattaya Old Course at Siam Country Club to join Tseng in the lead. Shin could only par the par-five closing hole to end in third.

Miyazato, the third-round leader, rebounded from an up-and-down front nine with four birdies on the back nine. Three of them came in the final four holes as she nearly forced a playoff.

However, Tseng showed her mettle. After a pair of dropped shots early on the back nine, the world No. 1 matched Miyazato's birdies on the final two holes to claim the title.
