Congratulations! At the age of 20, Yin Ruoning topped the world number one women's golf tournament
On September 11th, Beijing time, the LPGA Queenstown Championship concluded at Kenwood Country Club in Cincinnati, USA. 20-year-old Chinese player Yin Ruoning finished in third place alone with an outstanding performance of 67 strokes in the final round. With the points earned from this ranking, Yin Ruoning successfully topped the world number one women's golf tournament, becoming the second Chinese High School Association female golfer to become the world number one, following Feng Shanshan.
At the end of last year, Yin Ruoning's world ranking remained at 101st, and this season Yin Ruoning has seen a rocket like surge in speed. She has successively won championships at the Los Angeles Open and Grand Slam Women's PGA Championships, and her world ranking has skyrocketed. Coming to this week's LPGA Queens City Championship, facing the challenge of having a chance to climb to the top if his performance is better than finishing fourth alone, Yin Ruoning admitted before the competition that he would not be limited by ranking and would rather win the championship. In the end, she performed well in the final round and won third place alone. "This is amazing, my brain is completely blank now," Yin Ruoning said in an interview after the game. "Before this week, I knew that depending on my final result, I could become the world number one. On the last hole, I looked at the leading chart and thought to myself, 'Okay, another week to finish third, but I think I can become the world number one.'"
