Yin Ruoning has captured the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship by a stroke

Yin Ruoning has captured the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship by a stroke, sealing the title with a blemish-free four-under-par 67 on the final day at the Lower Course at Baltusrol in Springfield Township, New Jersey.

That gave Yin a four-round total of eight-under 276 (67-73-69-67) - and there was a 10-foot birdie putt drained on the 18th that ensured the 20-year-old became just the second Chinese player to win a Major, after Feng Shanshan’s victory in the same tournament back in 2012.

It was a 1-2 for Asia at the tournament, with Japan’s Yuka Saso second on seven-under 277 (69-73-69-66) while China’s Janet Lin Xiyu finished in a five-way tie for third after signing for a six-under 278 (67-71-73-67).
