    Yani Tseng, the 21-year-old Taiwanese golfer who won the Women's British Open on Sunday, has received lavish praise at home, with one newspaper hailing her as the island's Tiger Woods.

    Tseng made a six-foot putt on the last hole to win the title by one stroke, holding off Katherine Hull of Australia to capture her third major championship.

    The mass circulation Apple Daily newspaper compared her favourably with Woods, suggesting that she might even be on course to surpass the American golfer's feats considering it took Woods until the age of 25 to win his third major title.

    Cable news channel TVBS was already telling viewers to keep an eye on Tseng at next year's women's U.S. Open, where they're hoping the Taiwanese golfer will complete the set of women's majors: "It is worth seeing whether Yani will win her fourth title at the U.S. Open."
