Not only youngest #1 women player - she is youngest #1 as Tiger didn't get #1 till 21 who is the youngest male golf player to be #1

I certainly hope she would not run out of steam too early as she is already peaking in her teens, and she has not even reached 20 years of age ... Yani Tseng is a good example who reached saturation point too early and now going downhill ...

yeah!!! NYC won the championship. 

She has the mental strength of a woman 10 years her senior and she speaks like someone much older than her actual age ...
