Dubai, December 8, 2012: OMEGA’s newest ambassador Shanshan Feng proved why she is ranked among the world’s top players as she pulled off a brilliant display to win the 2012 OMEGA Dubai Ladies Masters Golf Tournament. Feng closed with an outstanding 267, with 21 under par for the tournament while she dominated the leaderboard throughout all four days of the tournament. She also broke the previous tournament record of 18 under par held by Annika Sorenstam (Sweden) in 2006 and Kyung Kim (South Korea) in 2009.
Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai presented Feng with the trophy. She also received the first prize of 75,000 euros and was awarded the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Co- Axial 34mm in 18K red gold on a leather strap.
Shanshan Feng is one of the most exciting professional golfers in the world. She became the first full-exempt player from China to join the LPGA Tour and in the years since, has emerged as one of the Tour’s fiercest competitors. In 2012, the talented 23-year-old won the LPGA Championship, a major title, by two strokes, becoming the first Chinese golfer to win a major– in fact, she was the first player from mainland China, male or female, to accomplish the feat.
During the four days of the tournament OMEGA hosted a number of activities at their VIP hospitality chalet – a luncheon for women golfers from the Emirates Golf Club and Dubai Creek Club, a lunch for the media and autograph sessions with their ambassadors Michelle Wie and Shanshan Feng.
