: American Angel Yin won the Buick LPGA Shanghai in a playoff on Sunday to become the 2023 LPGA Tour’s 12th Rolex First-Time Winner – a new record for most first-time winners in a single season.
Both players hit the fairway in the playoff, and both had birdie looks from opposite sides of the pin. A miss by Vu meant it came down to Yin to seal the deal in front of her mother’s home country fans. As the ball dropped, Yin was visibly relieved to get into the LPGA Tour winner’s circle for the first time since turning professional in 2016.
“I’m happy that my first win was actually in Shanghai. I’ve come close twice in 2018 and 2019 before Covid, and so it feels really good to be able to claim this title and obviously do it in a playoff with Lilia,” added the 25-year-old.Five players finished in a tie for third on 13-under-par, including Korean Hye-Jin Choi who shot a superb final round 64, and Yu Liu who ended the week as the top player from China among the 22 in the field.
Malaysia’s Kelly Tan carded rounds of 71, 69, 72 and 75 to finish in tied 55th position on one under-par 287.
