Two decades later, the team spearheaded by Hashimoto, the reigning Women\u2019s Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship (WAAP)&nbsp; champion, would end the week with a combined gross score of 20-under-par to emerge victorious.<\/p>\n<p>The Kiwis secured second place with their 13-under-par gross score while Korea clinched third place with a 10-under-par score, with host nation Singapore a further shot behind in fourth place.<\/p>\n<p>Despite returning with a one-over-par 73 in the final round, Hashimoto finished atop the leaderboard in the individual standings after previous rounds of 70, 64 and 72. The 19-year-old was even more pleased as she managed to emulate the footsteps of her famous compatriots in leading her country to victory again at the Queen Sirikit Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis win is very special as we have managed to win the Queen Sirikit Cup again after 20 years. It\u2019s a surreal feeling. I\u2019m so happy. There were lots of expectations on me after I won the Women\u2019s Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship, and I\u2019m pleased I was able to handle those pressure well and do well in Singapore,\u201d said Hashimoto.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand\u2019s Fiona Xu, who signed off with a 73, is pleased her debut at the Queen Sirikit Cup ended positively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt I played well this week. It could have been better, but overall, I\u2019m pleased. The weather\u2019s very different from New Zealand. It\u2019s winter in New Zealand now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut over here, I\u2019ve to adapt to the weather quickly. Everyone in the team is very happy with the result as we did not expect ourselves to finish so high atop the leaderboard,\u201d said the 17-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore\u2019s Shannon Tan signed for a 72 to finish in second place in the individual standings, one shot behind Hashimoto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never expected myself to finish second in the individual standings and also for Singapore to take fourth place. We have indeed surpassed all expectations. A lot of that comes down to the support given to us by the various stakeholders, and we\u2019re really thankful for that,\u201d said Tan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore: Japan ended their 20-year title drought at the Queen Sirikit Cup when the trio of Mizuki Hashimoto, Tezuka Ayaka and Ueta Miku powered their way to a grandstand finish with a commanding seven-shot victory over New Zealand at Laguna National Golf and Country Club on Friday.
