Ruoning Yin Claims Historic Victory In Home Event At Buick LPGA Shanghai

Ruoning Yin poses with the Buick LPGA Shangai title.

It was a day to remember for Ruoning Yin, as the 22-year-old produced a stunning back nine on Sunday to claim the Buick LPGA Shanghai title, becoming the first player from China to do so, and her fourth LPGA Tour title in just 18 months.

Sitting at 18-under-par for the tournament following a nine-under-par third round that included an eagle and seven birdies on Saturday, Yin started the final round one back of Mao Saigo. However, Yin's momentum carried over on Sunday and, thanks to eight birdies and 10 pars, she was able to finish six shots clear of Saigo and South Korea's Sei Young Kim.
