In a dazzling display of golf prowess, Angel Yin transformed the Honda LPGA Thailand into her personal birdie playground, clinching her second LPGA Tour title with a record-breaking 28-under-par performance. citeturn0search0

Starting the final round with a five-shot cushion, Yin might have expected a leisurely Sunday stroll. However, Japanese rookie Akie Iwai had other plans, launching a blistering assault on the leaderboard with a 10-under 62 in the opening round and an even more impressive final-round 61.

As Iwai’s scorecard sizzled, Yin’s lead shrank faster than a wool sweater in hot water. By the 12th hole, the two were neck and neck, both at 24-under. But Yin, unflappable as ever, responded with three consecutive birdies, reestablishing her dominance.

Approaching the 18th hole with a two-shot lead, Yin faced the “hardest pin on the golf course.” Yet, with the calm of a seasoned pro, she secured her victory, etching her name into the tournament’s history books.

Iwai’s valiant effort, featuring 10 birdies and an eagle, earned her a well-deserved second place. Meanwhile, local favorite Jeeno Thitikul celebrated her 22nd birthday with a third-place finish, proving that age is just a number when it comes to talent.

In the end, Yin’s performance was a masterclass in composure and skill, leaving fans eagerly anticipating her next move on the LPGA Tour.
