Korean Women’s Golf ‘Hangzhou AG In-Running Warning’

Second 'Number 1' Reservation in History Following Peng Sansan
Golden Challenge with Coach Peng Sansan at Asian Games
In Ruoning "Looking Forward to the Asian Games Held in China"

A warning has been issued for In Ruoning (China) in Korean women's golf.

In Ruoning is scheduled to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will be held for four days from the 28th of this month to the 1st of next month at the West Lake International Country Club in Hangzhou, China. She performed well by finishing 3rd at the LPGA Tour Kroger Queen City Championship, which concluded on the 10th (local time) at Kenwood CC in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Ranked 2nd in the world following Lilia Vu (USA), In Ruoning has secured her ascent to the 'Number 1' spot.

Inruening is teeing off at the 9th hole of the 4th round of the Kroger Queen City Championship. He secured 3rd place in this tournament, reserving his ascent to 'Number 1'.

In Ruoning will join the Chinese national team led by coach Feng Shanshan. She smiled and said, "I haven't had many opportunities to talk with Feng Shanshan yet," adding, "I look forward to returning to China, participating in the Asian Games, and spending more time with him." Korea will field three amateurs: Kim Min-sol (Suseong Bangtong High School, 2nd year), Lim Ji-yu (Suseong Bangtong High School, 3rd year), and Yoo Hyun-jo (Cheonan Jungang Bangtong High School, 3rd year). Since Park Gyeol won the gold medal at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, Korea is aiming for a gold medal again after nine years.

Born in 2002, In Ruoning is in her second year since debuting on the LPGA Tour last year. She is following in the footsteps of Feng Shanshan, who once held the world No. 1 ranking. After claiming her first victory at the DIO Implant LA Open in April, she won the major KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June. This season, she has been impressive with two wins and seven top-10 finishes.

In Ruoning's world ranking has also risen sharply. She was ranked 146th after the Drive On Championship in March, but after winning the LA Open, she climbed to 32nd, and in less than six months, she surged to No. 1. She is the second Chinese player to reach No. 1 in the women's golf world rankings, following Feng Shanshan, who retired last year after winning a total of 10 tournaments. In a local interview, In Ruoning said, "Becoming world No. 1 means a lot. It feels like a dream come true for me," adding, "It is a big step following Feng Shanshan. It gives me goosebumps," expressing her joy.
