PATTAYA, Thailand — Angel Yin is a winner on the LPGA again and it wasn't easy. The American started the final round of the Honda LPGA Thailand with a five-shot lead. She played bogey-free and shot 65. And it still almost wasn't enough. Yin wound up winning by one shot over Akie Iwai of Japan, who shot 61. Iwai eagled the par-5 18th hole to momentarily tie for the lead until Yin made her 30th birdie of the lead. Yin finished at 260. There have been only six lower 72-hole scores in LPGA history. Iwai is an LPGA rookie playing on a sponsor exemption.
