China’s Ruoning Yin overtakes Choi to win the LPGA’s Shanghai tournament
In Shanghai, China's Ruoning Yin secured victory in the LPGA tournament by a single stroke over third-round leader Hye-Jin Choi. The decisive moment came on the 16th hole when Yin successfully executed a four-foot birdie putt, ending a back-nine tie with Choi. This marked Yin's seventh LPGA tournament win, including a major championship in 2023.
