Ruoning Yin wins home LPGA event in China for her fourth tour victory

Posted

SHANGHAI (AP) — Ruoning Yin shot an 8-under 64 on Sunday to win the LPGA Buick Shanghai tournament, the fourth career LPGA victory for the Chinese golfer.

Yin trailed third-round leader Mao Saigo of Japan by one stroke, but rallied with birdies on five of the final six holes. Yin finished on 25-under 263 for the four rounds at the Qizhong Garden Golf Club.

Saigo closed with a 71 and tied for second with Sei Young Kim of South Korea, who carded a 68. Saigo was looking for her first LPGA Tour victory. They were both six strokes off the lead, finishing at 19-under 269.

Two of the LPGA’s top players — Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko — were not in the field this week in China. Both are entered next week in the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea.

Yealimi Noh of the United States carded a 67 on Sunday to finish in fourth place, seven strokes behind the winner.

Hye-Jin Choi of South Korea shot a 62, the low round of the tournament. She finished tied for fifth, nine shots off the pace.
