What started as a potential rematch of Solheim Cup rivals turned into a clash between American teammates on Sunday at the Buick LPGA Shanghai. Angel Yin began the final round with a share of the lead and the motivation of claiming her first career LPGA title in her 159th start. When fellow co-leader Maja Stark of Sweden faded (closing with a 72), it was World No. 1 Lilia Vu who emerged as Yin’s biggest obstacle. A closing 68 from Vu allowed her to chase down Yin (70) and tie her at 14-under 284 at Qizhong Garden Golf Club. But a birdie on the first playoff hole gave Yin, 25, the win she so desperately had been longing for.
“Honestly, I'm still living in the moment so much that I haven't been able to draw on the past to think about the journey and where I am right now," Yin said when asked about the feeling of claiming that first title. "I'm still so much in the present, and I think sometime golf you have to be like that. That's where I am right now. If I can just give you an answer that's in the back of my head, it's always very special, and throughout the round I was thinking to myself, it's not easy to win. It's not easy to win. Just very grateful.
For her victory, Yin earned the $315,000 first-place prize money payout from an overall purse of $2.1 million. Here's the prize money payout for the entire field in Shanghai. Come back shortly after the end of the tournament when we’ll update to include individual names and prize money payouts.
