This was five shots clear of nearest rival Michelle Wie, who could only muster a closing round of 70 around the Pattaya Old Course at Siam Country Club. But along with Tseng and Karrie Webb (tied third), Wie automatically wins a place at the season-ending Titleholders tournament.
Tseng has now played four tournaments in 2011, including the LET's Australian Open and Australian Ladies Masters, and has won the lot, confirming her position at the top of the rankings.
She said after her victory, which merited a $217,500 pay checque: "I just tried my best and I know I had lots of confidence, but with all the great golfers out here, you never know until the last putt drops in.
"I know I needed to stay patient. All day, I was patient and focused and I just tried to control what I could control."
