Who won the Buick LPGA Shanghai in 2024?
The 2024 Buick LPGA Shanghai will be held from October 10-13 and will be updated likewise. Angel Yin won the 2023 Buick LPGA Shanghai by winning the LPGA Tour at Shanghai, China's Qizhong Garden Golf Club. Of the purse of $2.1 million, she took home the $315,000 winner's share.
After both players, Yin and Lilia Vu ended the 72-hole regulation round at 14-under 274, Yin made her first-ever win on the LPGA Tour in her 159th appearance. She did so by scoring a birdie on the opening hole of a sudden-death playoff against Vu.
Vu defeated Yin in the Chevron Championship playoffs earlier in the season to capture her first major title, and now the favor has (sort of) returned. Hye-Jin Choi, Esther Henseleit, Yu Liu, Ariya Jutanugarn, and Pavarisa Yoktuan finished tied for third place.
