Chihiro Ikeda turned in a fiery closing round of five-under-par 68 to beat ICTSI teammate Dottie Ardina by four shots and capture the Royal Selangor Ladies Open crown at the Royal Selangor Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
It was Ikeda’s sixth victory halfway through the season, underscoring her readiness for the LPGA Qualifying later this year.
She also humbled Ardina for the Philippine Ladies Open title, dominated the Southern Ladies Championship, topped the Thailand Ladies Open while powering Team Phl-ICTSI to the team title before stamping her class in the recent Johor Amateur Open.
Ikeda pooled a 214 total in 54 holes, four clear of Ardina, who closed with a 72, and six ahead of Malaysian Kelly Tan (73).
