Young star stages brilliant fightback to become only second Chinese mainland winner on LPGA Tour

Yin Ruoning became the second Chinese mainland winner in LPGA Tour history on Sunday, holding off Georgia Hall at the DIO Implant LA Open in California.

"I dreamed about this for so many times and it finally came true today," Yin said. "Wasn't easy at all."

The 20-year-old Yin closed with an eventful 1-under 70 for a one-stroke victory over Hall, the English player whose short birdie attempt on the 18th to force a playoff slid by the right side. Recently retired Feng Shanshan is the only other Chinese mainland champion, winning 10 times on the LPGA Tour.
