The 2024 Maybank Championship is about to conclude in just a few hours! And well, looks like this might be Yin Ruoning’s chance to get back into contention. After winning the Buick LPGA Shanghai around two weeks ago, she has once again made it to the headlines. After finishing the 72-hole event, which some of the other field members had yet to complete, she went to the final round completely bogey-free.
The Chinese LPGA Tour Pro began the round with a birdie and also had a great ending to it, with a birdie as well, carding a total of seven of them. She is currently in the lead, one stroke ahead of Jeeno Thitikul. So what are the weapons that are helping her pace the game in Malaysia?
