It is worth noting that: 219 strokes, 3 above par is Lin Xiyu ‘s highest number of winning strokes since winning the SRIXON XXIO Women’s Open in 2012 with the same stroke number. At the same time, Yin Xiaowen just broke the record for the youngest double crown set by Lin Xiyu in that game. Lin Xiyu was 16 years old, 7 months and 27 days when he won the championship, and Yin Xiaowen is 16 years old, 4 months and 9 days today . In addition, Yin Xiaowen also tied Liu Yu’s record, becoming the second female Chinese tour player to win twice in the amateur period. Liu Yu in 2013 Nian SRIXON XXIO achieve second crown on Women’s Open.

“ I am in a calm and happy mood now, “ Yin Xiaowen said, “ I have experienced such stressful moments too many times, and I want to win myself psychologically today. “

Yin Xiaowen

In the difficult Cuiyuan Stadium, the wind is so strong, it is difficult not to make mistakes, and it is difficult to maintain a peaceful mind. At the beginning of the final round, she was tied for the lead. Hangzhou International Championship champion Zhang Jie Nalin made such a mistake. On the fifth and eighth holes, she hit double bogeys due to triple pushes and quickly fell out of the championship.

Yin Xiaowen himself also made major mistakes. On the eighth hole, she hit a difficult position. There were branches nearby. According to the rules, she could pick up scattered obstacles. Unfortunately, when she picked up the branches, she drove the golf ball and had to accept a penalty shot. When entering the last nine holes, she was only two shots ahead of Liu Wenbo , and on the 12th hole, she failed to get all the pushes in the bunker, and she lost another shot.

The most critical moment was the 16th hole, the 18- foot uphill birdie putt, Yin Xiaowen used too much force, causing the three putt to bogey. In front of her, Zeng Li directly hit the green on the 14th hole and the first wood, 70- foot two putts to catch the bird; then one hole, two par-five holes, 12- foot distance two putts to catch the bird. There are only 2 holes left in the game , and the two amateur teenagers are only one shot away. If Zeng Li wins the championship, she will become the youngest champion in the history of the women’s Chinese tour, but she didn’t know this at the time.

“ I didn’t watch the score in time. I always felt that the championship has nothing to do with me. I just need to play a bit more steadily, “ Zeng Liqi said. “ Looking back, I may know the score and will not change my strategy, because she ( Yin Xiaowen) bogeyed on the 16th hole. Before that, I was two shots away. I would not take risks because of this gap. “

Zeng Li’s psychology was not affected. After Yin Xiaowen learned about the situation through the caddie on the 17th hole, her psychology was affected. She said that the 25- foot birdie on the 18th hole pushed to 2 feet, and finally the par push She was quite nervous about the shots. However, many failures and winning the championship in Zhangjiagang Shuangshan last year have taught her how to overcome her nervousness, and she once again won the trophy in the women’s middle tour.

Champion Yin Xiaowen and runner-up Zeng Liqi

“When I was young, Zeng Liqi and I played together in youth competitions. I knew it was not easy to win the championship, but I really didn’t expect her to bring me such a big challenge today, “ Yin Xiaowen said, “ Congratulations on her so much progress. “

Liu Wenbo also had a chance in the last few holes. She was in the same group as Zeng Li. Unfortunately, she did not seize the short hole opportunity on the 14th hole. The 15th hole missed the birdie putt within 3 feet, and the 16th hole missed a shot. .

Liu Wenbo

“The children have made great progress. I have hardly played with Zeng Liqi. She left a deep impression on me today, “ Liu Wenbo said. “ She has a very good mentality and has no ideas. When I was an amateur, I didn’t have any games. Thoughts, I should learn from them. “

With the continuous improvement of young players, there is hope for Chinese golf. Yin Xiaowen has shown us the demeanor of tomorrow’s stars. In the future, she may follow Liu Yu and Lin Xiyu on the LPGA stage.
