It wasn’t the fairy-tale finish to the EFG Hong Kong Ladies Open that local star Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching had hoped for at Fanling on Sunday, with the 24-year-old admitting she has plenty to work on ahead of the US Women’s Open later this month.
Chan teed off in the final group after entering the last day within three shots of the lead, but struggled to build any momentum before finishing seven shots adrift in a tie for seventh on the Old Course.
Thailand’s Saranporn Langkulgasettrin took the spoils in a play-off, with Chan left to rue her fade out.

“I think I disappointed the audience and a lot of my friends and family but at the end of the day I am still young and I still have a lot of years to win this tournament,” said Chan, who won the event in 2016.
“I think I did a good job on the first two days but I couldn’t finish it off. I found it really hard to get momentum going out there, I bogeyed my second hole which was unexpected because I drove it next to the green.
