No one is playing as well as Ruoning Yin during the LPGA’s Asian Swing.
The 22-year-old from China won the 2024 Maybank Championship on Sunday, her second win in three starts. Two weeks ago, she claimed the title at her hometown event in Shanghai. This week, she earned her fifth LPGA victory at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.
Yin shot 7-under 65 in the final round, one stroke better than Jeeno Thitikul to beat her by a shot. Yin had seven birdies in the final round, but her birdie on the par-5 18th secured the win, finishing at 23 under for the week.
Yin and Thitikul teamed up to win the Dow Championship earlier this season.
With her win, Yin earns $450,000, and she has earned $2,397,966 this season and $5,462,783 in her career.
