Answer
Yani Tseng
Answer
Yani Tseng
The golfer who won two LPGA majors in 2011 was Yani Tseng. The Taiwanese star captured both the LPGA Championship and the Women’s British Open during a season in which she was the dominant player on the tour.
Tseng won the 2011 LPGA Championship at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York, finishing at 19 under par and winning by 10 strokes over Morgan Pressel. The following month, she successfully defended her Women’s British Open title at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland, winning by four strokes over Brittany Lang.
Those victories gave Tseng five major championships before her 23rd birthday, making her the youngest golfer—male or female at the time—to reach that total. She also won seven LPGA Tour events in 2011, led the official money list, captured the Vare Trophy for scoring average, and was named LPGA Player of the Year. The Kraft Nabisco Championship was another 2011 major, but Stacy Lewis won that event; Tseng finished second.
