China’s Ruoning Yin wins the LPGA Shanghai tournament on Sunday at Sheshan Golf Club, rallying on the back nine to finish one stroke ahead of Hye-Jin Choi. Yin makes a four-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole to break a tie with Choi, who stays level through the 15th.
Across earlier rounds, Choi leads the tournament. After Saturday’s play, she shoots a 3-under 69 to carry a one-stroke advantage into the final round, including four birdies on the front nine. On Friday, despite difficult scoring conditions, Choi shoots a 2-over 74 but maintains a two-stroke lead after two rounds with a two-day total of 6-under. Sources frame the story around Choi’s steady advantage through much of the event and Yin’s decisive late push to secure her victory.
