Golf sensation Yin Ruoning has just made history! 🏌️♀️🇨🇳 On a thrilling Sunday at the Qizhong Garden Golf Club in Shanghai, the 20-year-old became the first Chinese player to clinch the LPGA Shanghai title.
Yin, currently ranked world No. 4, dazzled the crowd with a phenomenal performance. She finished with a jaw-dropping total of 263 strokes, 25 under par! Talk about smashing it! 😱
Her competitors, Mao Saigo from Japan and Kim Sei-young from South Korea, tied for second place at 19-under. But Yin was in a league of her own this weekend.
The excitement kicked off on Saturday when Yin surged up the leaderboard with eight birdies and an eagle (yes, an eagle! 🦅) during the third round. She leaped into second place, just one stroke behind Saigo.
Come Sunday, Yin was unstoppable. She nailed birdies on the first and fifth holes, grabbing a one-stroke lead. But she wasn't done yet! On the back nine, she soared with six more birdies. The grand finale? A perfect birdie putt on the last hole, sealing her victory with a six-stroke lead.
This win marks Yin's fourth LPGA title, and it's clear she's just getting started. The future of golf looks bright with this rising star shining on the global stage! ✨
