Ruoning Yin Runs Down Hye-Jin Choi for Second Shanghai Title

Ruoning Yin won the Buick LPGA Shanghai on home soil for the second time in three years, closing with a 4-under 68 at Sheshan Golf Club to beat Hye-Jin Choi by one stroke. Yin finished at 11-under 277. Choi, who led after each of the first three rounds, shot 71 and finished alone in second at 10-under 278.

The title is the seventh of Yin's LPGA career and her second of the season, following her two-stroke win at the FM Championship at TPC Boston in August. Her first Shanghai title came in 2024 at Shanghai Qizhong Garden Golf Club, where she shot 25-under 263 and won by six. With a major already on her record from the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, she has now won this event twice on two different courses.
