ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Yani Tseng has a tradition on Chinese New Year to give her house a thorough cleaning. She decided to start with the trophy cabinet, which was no small project. A photo she posted on Facebook shows a cabinet crowded with crystal.

The 23-year-old from Taiwan already has won five majors, the most of any golfer that age.

She is coming off a blockbuster season in which she won 12 times around the world, including the first four tournaments she played. She earned nearly $3 million on the LPGA Tour last year, more than the next two players combined.

Tseng left her home at Lake Nona on Friday for what figures to be a tough encore.
