Ha Na Jang fired a final round 72 win the Coats Golf Championship and pick up her first LPGA victory in wire-to-wire fashion,

Jang, 23 from South Korea, began the tournament with a seven under par 65 to take the first round lead by three strokes. She played solidly the next three days which was hampered with weather delays, but was unable to take control of the tournament. She entered the final round tied for the lead. She would lose that lead after eight pars and a bogey on the front nine. Another bogey at 14 put her at +2 for the day, but with the weather conditions effecting the other players on the course, Jang birdied two of the last three holes to leapfrog everyone and pick up her first LPGA victory by two strokes.

"It's amazing how I feel right now," Jang said through tears following her birdie to seal the victory on the 72nd hole. 

Jang was a rookie on the LPGA Tour last season, and had made a very good impression. She made the cut in 21 of 25 events, and finished runner up four times. Her season would have been good enough to put her in contention for the Rookie Of The Year Award, but due to a historically good rookie class last season, Jang only managed to finish fourth. 

"I'm really comfortable at this golf course, and then very confident because of really good last year," said Jang, who finished runner up in this tournament last year.

Jang, however, is not new to the winner circle. Before making the jump to the LPGA Tour, Jang played on the KLPGA Tour, winning six times and being named Player Of The Year back in 2013. 

Jang begins 2016 with a victory to go along with her T11 finish last week, and will move inside the top 10 in the Rolex Rankings.

Lydia Struggles

With the absence of Inbee Park, Rolex Number One Lydia Ko had the opportunity to put some space between her and her nearest competitor in the rankings and begin this season on a high note. After entering the final round tied for the lead and seeing Jang struggle on the front nine, Ko had the perfect opportunity to close this tournament. 

What happened, however, was something we rarely see from Ko.

Ko bogeyed her final three holes of the front nine to fall from the top of the leaderboard, then hit her tee shot in the water on the par 3 eleventh which lead to a double bogey. Another bogey on 13, and Lydia was taken out of the tournament and was looking at potentially her worst round as a professional.

To Ko's credit, she did manage to birdie three of her last four holes to finish in a tie for third place. It would have been easy for Lydia just to give up on the tournament, but her ability to rebound is why no one is worried about her performances moving forward. 

Mixed Bag Of Emotions For Henderson

Brooke Henderson, the 18 year old superstar from Canada who won last year as a non-member, fired a sensational third round 67 to get herself in position heading into the final round. Birdies on five and six quickly meant that Henderson was among the leaders, and would be in the solo lead heading into the 14th hole. A bogey there, however, brought Henderson back, and another bogey on 17 meant that Henderson needed to make something happen on the par 5 18th. Her second shot nearly ended up in the hazard, and she chunked a pitch shot, and was forced to make a long putt for par in order to finish solo second. It is Henderson's best finish since her victory, and it proves that Henderson is on her way to becoming one of the best in the world, but Henderson likely isn't in the mood for moral victories.

A Great Debut By Chun

Last year's US Women's Open Champion, In Gee Chun, took up LPGA membership for this season and began her rookie year this week at the Coats. While Chun has had plenty of success around the world, there was some question about whether Chun would be able to adapt to a new culture and quickly become a top name on a new Tour.

So far, so good.

Chun played solidly all week, including an opening round 68 which put her in a tie for second. In the rain and the worsening conditions on Sunday, she birdied her final two holes to finish off a round of two under par 70 and give her a tie for third finish. If Chun plays to her potential, she is the heavy favorite to win the Rookie Of The Year Award, and given her performance this week, it is safe to say Chun will be crashing a few leaderboards this season.

New Year, Same As The Old One

Last season, Korean players got off to an excellent start, winning five of the first six tournaments of the season, including the first two. This season? 

It appears to be more of the same.

Jang's victory comes off the heels of Hyo Joo Kim's win last week in the Bahamas. In total, Koreans have made up eight top 10 finishes in the past two weeks, the most of any country. The United States only has had six. 

One of these most interesting battles taking place right now is the battle for the Korean Olympic Team. Entering this week, Korea had six players in the top 10 in the Rolex Rankings, and Ha Na Jang is expected to make the leap after this victory. Korea can only send four players, so it will be a fierce competition throughout the season.
