China’s Ruoning Yin edged Jeeno Thitikul by one stroke in Malaysia after some time away earlier this year reinvigorated her love of golf.
China's Ruoning Yin burst onto the women's professional golf scene at age 20, winning the 2023 Dio Implant LA Open. She followed up her maiden victory by winning the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Baltusrol three months later.“Early this year I was really stressed,” Yin said after the final round of Sunday's Maybank Championship, “because I had a really good year last year, and early this year I think I put too pressure on myself thinking about if I can win again or not.
Yin, though, didn't start this season hot. From January to May, she recorded two top 10s but appeared to be rounding a corner with a T4 at the Founders Cup. However, she withdrew in her next start at the Mizuho Americas Open.“After that, I realized that I really love golf,” Yin said. “I really like to play on this tour, play with all my friends, and I just really wanted to enjoy my life, enjoy play on the course.
Yin also joins one of her idols, Shanshan Feng, as a Chinese player to win in Malaysia—a feat that helped propel her to victory.
