SINGAPORE: Golfer Shannon Tan on Sunday (Nov 30) became the first Singaporean to win the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit, a season-long competition to crown the tour’s top player.
The 21-year-old had gone into the final tournament of the season at the Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España neck-and-neck with English rival Mimi Rhodes, with the two golfers posting the same scorecard in the opening three rounds.
Heading into the tournament, Rhodes needed to finish third or better and ahead of Tan, while Tan had to finish 44th or better to seal the Order of Merit title.
