Can Angel Yin defend her title, or will Danielle Kang reclaim her crown at the Buick LPGA?

The fourth edition of the Buick LPGA Shanghai Tournament is back. Last year, Angel Yin defeated World’s No. 3 Lilia Vu on the first playoff hole, grabbing her first Tour win. This year the field will be packed with some of the greatest female golfers, from Hannah Green and Rose Zhang to Jeeno Thitikul and Celine Boutier. This is the first of the four LPGA Tour events that are to be held in Asia.

Apart from the defending champion, Danielle Kang will be part of the field, trying to grab her third victory in the event. She managed to bag the trophy in the first two editions of the tournament. Seeing the top players fight will be a treat to watch if you have tickets to the Qizhong Garden Golf Club this weekend. However, if you do not, you can still enjoy the action from the comfort of your house. Here’s how.
