LPGA: Can World No. 1 Yani Tseng Win Her Fifth Major at the British Open?
Yani Tseng has already proven greatness. She's the youngest player to win four majors in golf's modern era, at age 22. Now, she's on the verge of adding another Grand Slam trophy to her case, and sits two strokes behind of Caroline Masson, the current leader of the Women's British Open, at 13-under.
If there's someone who knows how to play a final round of a major championship, it's the best player in the world. Yani Tseng has led the Rolex Rankings since the current LPGA season started, back in February, and is the only player of the tour to have won three titles this year.

Tseng has been a LPGA member since 2008, when she hoisted her first trophy at the second major of the schedule: the LPGA Championship. Her season's performance was rewarded with the Rookie of the Year award.
People and media noticed her, but it took her time to become the player she is now. With Lorena Ochoa leading women's golf, the Taiwanese player showed sparkles of her aggressive and creative game, but not consistent enough to grab multiple titles in a single season.
It was in 2010 when she let the world know she was ready to take over Ochoa's reign. The very first sign came at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, where Tseng held off Suzann Pettersen and claimed the second major title of her career.
With Ochoa out of the picture, after she announced she was leaving the tour in May, Yani's show was here to stay. At the Women's British Open she came from behind to win yet another Grand Slam, becoming the first woman to claim two major titles in the same season, since Annika Sƶrenstam did so, back in 2005.
Yani collected another trophy in 2010, at the P&G NW Arkansas Championship, which set her on track to win the Player of the Year Award, as well as the recognition of the Golf Writers Association of America as the Female Player of the Year.
Tseng teed off 2011 in style. She won the first three events she played on: the Taifing Ladies Open, ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open and AZN RACV Ladies Masters. As expected, she became world No. 1.
She extended her streak at the season-opening Honda LPGA Thailand, held in February. Four months later she added another title to her resume at the LPGA State Farm Classic, and made history two weeks later by winning the LPGA Championship, her fourth major victory.
Tseng has a real chance to extend her success at major championships tomorrow, she just needs to beat Masson, a 22-year-old who plays in the Ladies European Tour since last year and that hasn't won yet.
The final round of the Women's British Open is, for sure, the best chance for people to realize that the Yani-era is here to stay.
