Entering the second week of Golf in December, Yin Ruoning finished tied for 4th place in the LPGA qualifying exam and will enter the women's PGA Tour next year.

Yin Ruoning and Zhang Weiwei advanced to the LPGA
The LPGA qualification examination ushered in the last four rounds of competition, accumulating the results of the first four rounds last week, Yan Jing, Yin Ruoning and Zhang Weiwei launched a final sprint towards the next year's LPGA qualification.
The last four rounds were held at The Highland Oaks In Dorsen, Alabama. As the best Chinese mainland player in the first four rounds, Zhang Weiwei made a major mistake in the sixth round. She broke out of a bogey on the 18th hole and fell nearly 20 places in the rankings. Fortunately, on the last 36 holes, she reversed the decline and did not continue to slide.

After four rounds, 19-year-old Yin Ruoning, who was tied for 46th place, achieved a reversal. This week, her results have not fallen out of the "six-word head", so the ranking has also been soaring. The Guinness World Record-setting, who set a three-game winning streak last year, delivered a 21-69-69-74-73-65-69-67-67 to finish in 4th place and earn the LPGA Full Card.
