Yin ends title drought with sixth LPGA victory at TPC Boston
<strong>Yin</strong> held off two Korean rivals to capture her sixth LPGA title, ending a 12‑month title drought.
Yin, 23, posted a closing two‑under‑par 70 to finish at 14 under and claim the tournament at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts. The win marked her sixth career LPGA title and her first since 2024.
She birdied the final par‑five 18th, sealing the victory after a round that saw five birdies and three bogeys.
“I was really emotional when I was on the 18th green and just felt like all the hard work paid off,” she said after the win.
How the final stretch unfolded
Yin kept a steady pace despite the pressure from fellow South Koreans Kim Hyo‑joo and Kim Sei‑young. Kim Hyo‑joo posted a one‑under 71 to finish on 12 under, while Kim Sei‑young carded a one‑over 73, tying with Rose Zhange for fourth. American Allisen Corpuz trailed by a stroke at 11 under.
What the win means for the tour
After a string of close calls last season, Yin admitted she doubted her ability to win again. “I’ve had quite a few times where I was really close but just keep missing by one or two,” she reflected. The victory underscores the depth of talent on the LPGA and signals that the race for the season’s major titles remains wide open.
Looking ahead, Yin will aim to build on her momentum at upcoming events, while her rivals will look to close the gap before the next major championship.
