The LPGA family has always shown examples of camaraderie throughout its tenure. Currently, we get to see one more, as the Shanghai event wrote its concluding chapter by announcing Angel Yin as the title winner, and Yin also bagged a handsome payout of $315,000.

On Sunday, Angel Yin went into a head-to-head playoff round with world no. 1, Lilia Vu, as both tied for a score of 14-under par after the completion of the four rounds. Now, in the playoffs, Yin showcased her exceptional putting and sealed first place.

After her victory, she went to the ‘Unnie’, the big sister of the LPGA squad, Danielle Kang, and included her in the celebrations by lifting her. Following that, Kang did her part as a big sister and congratulated Yin by posting a video of the same as her Instagram story. Along with the story, she wrote, “Angel Yin LFG. Great playing, bud, so happy for you.”
