COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — There was a time when Yani Tseng shied away from socializing on the golf course.
Usually outgoing, the top-ranked Taiwanese golfer was so insecure about her broken English that she would stay away from others in her group at LPGA events.
These days, Tseng’s English has become almost as polished as her golf game.
And with it, more confidence.
The charismatic and well-spoken Tseng has become the face of women’s golf — a title even bestowed on her by idol and friend, Annika Sorenstam.
The 22-year-old is dominating like her childhood hero, too, capturing the LPGA Championship by 10 strokes two weeks ago to become the youngest player to claim four LPGA majors.
This weekend, Tseng can finish off her career grand slam by winning the U.S. Women’s Open.
