Taiwanese Tsai Ching Tseng performed an authentic feat. The 23-year-old neopro from Tainan City, in her second round on the Epson Tour and without a ‘card’, won the 12th Island Resort Championship on the Sweetgrass Golf Club course in Harris, Michigan with 201 (66 70 65, -15) strokes.
With a final round bogey free in 65 (-7, seven birdies) she recovered from third place overtaking and relegating them to second with 202 (-14) Auston Kim, leader after two rounds, and the Malaysian Natasha Andrea Oon, who followed her at one shot.
In this way the winner, in addition to being fully entered into the circuit, also received a check for 33,750 dollars out of a prize pool of 225,000 dollars.

The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they apply outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respect for the rules is a basic element in the game of golf which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or lightly, due to non-compliance by many players of the game rules.
In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing your game with due respect to the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
