Tseng led by one stroke over Wie and IK Kim of South Korea going into the final round and had the lowest score of the day with seven birdies and one bogey, for a 15-under total of 273.

Wie shot a 70 to finish second in the season-opening LPGA event, while Kim was another shot back in a tie for third with Karrie Webb. Tseng took over the No 1 ranking after winning back-to-back Ladies' European Tour events, the Australian Open and then the Australian Ladies' Masters last weekend.
