After returning to Taiwan from the US, she took advantage of the mandatory COVID-19 quarantine to focus on herself and how to perform at the highest level, Lee said after her win, adding that the key to victory was her state of mind during the competition.
“Now, I can face the game more positively and comfortably,” she added.
Lee had a five-shot lead after the first nine holes before three bogeys in the last nine due to windy conditions during the final round at the three-day tournament, which started on Wednesday.
Wu shot a 71 to end with a six-over-par 222 to finish in second place. She had four birdies and two bogeys in the third round.
The WPG Ladies Open is the seventh leg of the TLPGA Tour with 75 participants competing to add NT$1.1 million to their ranking on the TLPGA Tour money leaderboard.

The horn sounded on Wednesday night to signal a third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Final, as the Florida Panthers celebrated merely by hopping over the boards and several heading over to congratulate goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.
