Twenty-year-old Ruoning Yin earned her first LPGA Tour victory at the DIO Implant LA Open after posting a 1-under 70 round on April 2. Starting the day with a two-stroke lead, Yin made her first and only par of the front nine on No. 1 before filling her card with color on Nos. 2-10. A birdie on 2 was followed by three-straight bogeys. She turned it around right after with four consecutive birdies that led to a front-nine 34, still two strokes ahead of the nearest challenger. It wasn’t until she made the turn that she began to think about winning. The acronym DIO, refers to the internationally recognized dental implant manufacturer who is also the developer of DIOnavi, digitally planned dental implant placements. The tournament purse was $1.75 million.
