Na Yeon Choi today continued her brilliant LPGA Tour season in 2010 by successfully defending the LPGA Hana Bank Championship in Incheon near Seoul in Korea.
Choi earned US$270,000 for her two shot victory over American Vicky Hurst and, as a result, races to the top of the LPGA Tour money list this season.
With now two wins, four seconds and two thirds this season, Choi has moved some US$145,000 clear of Ji Yai Shin on the money list.
Song Hee Kim finished third with Paula Creamer, Ji Yai Shin and Suzann Pettersen sharing 4th.
The leading Australian was Katherine Hull who finished in a share of 12th while Anna Rawson and Lindsey Wright had disastrous weeks finishing 72nd and 73rd respectively.
The LPGA Tour will next week play the final event of a three tournament Asian swing when it plays the Mizuno Classic in Japan.
