Tranlate this title Ruoning Yin regains victory after two years in spanish

China’s Ruoning Yin won the FM Championship at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, her sixth career LPGA Tour title and ending a nearly two-year drought since her last victory at the 2024 Maybank Championship. The 23-year-old finished 14-under-par (71-65-68-70), two points ahead of South Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim. Yin shot a final 70 (-2) in windy conditions, reclaiming the lead with a birdie from about 25 feet on the 12th and closing with another birdie on the 18th. «This win gives me a little more confidence. I just want to enjoy the moment,» said an emotional Yin. «It’s been so long since I last won. I know I worked hard, and my team and my mom were there for me. In the end, everything fell into place.» Kim, a two-time winner this season, finished with a 71 (-1) and a total of -12. She lost ground with a three-putt and a bogey on the 16th and failed to convert a birdie attempt from about six feet on the 17th. «In the end, it was Ronni,» the Korean admitted. Sei Young Kim, who had taken the lead with a birdie chip-in on the 11th, then lost ground with a double bogey and two bogeys on the next three holes, closing with a 73 and a total of 10 under, tied for fourth place with American Rose Zhang (final 68). Allisen Corpuz was in sole third place at 11 under after an excellent 68.

Ruoning Yin, results

World number one Nelly Korda finished tied for 50th at +1 after a final 73 in the last event before the Solheim Cup (September 11-13). Anna Nordqvist, playing her final tournament on the LPGA Tour, finished 38th at -1. «I really don’t know how to feel. Nothing prepares you for this moment. I’m definitely going to miss it,» said the Swede.

Carolina Melgrati completed the four rounds, finishing in 67th place with a total of +8 (74-70-74-78). This result still allowed her to earn points. Benedetta Moresco, however, failed to make the cut with partials of 74 and 73.

From August 27 to 30, 2026, the LPGA Tour will stop in Norton, Massachusetts, at the TPC Boston for the third edition of the FM Championship. A prize pool of $4.4 million (about €4 million) is up for grabs, one of the richest of the season outside of the majors and the CME Group Tour Championship. The par-72 course measures just over 6,000 meters and represents a demanding technical test: challenging bunkers and greens, in a major tournament setting having previously hosted the PGA Tour.

The field is top-notch: 13 2026 winners and 23 of the top 25 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking. Leading the pack is world No. 1 Nelly Korda, in excellent form with four seasonal victories, including the US Women’s Open and The Chevron Championship, as well as the Riviera Maya Open and the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. Alongside her are Jeeno Thitikul (three titles: Portland Classic, Mizuho Americas Open, and Honda LPGA Thailand), Haeran Ryu (2024 defending champion and winner of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and Amundi Evian Championship), Hannah Green, Hyo Joo Kim, and Miyu Yamashita, all with multiple wins in 2026.

Among the rookies, interesting names stand out, such as Yana Wilson (already winner of the Dow Championship with Gina Kim) and Kiara Romero, who qualified via the LPGA Elite Amateur Pathway after the Mark H. McCormack Medal. Three sponsor invitations and two Monday Qualifiers complete the picture.
