Shi storms to top of leaderboard
Print Edition
SHI Yuting, one of China’s emerging golf stars, roared to the top of the leaderboard at the Bank of Qingdao Golden Mountain Challenge yesterday when the teenager fired a five-under 67 to take a two-shot lead in Yantai, Shandong Province.
Thailand’s Pavarisa Yoktuan (70) and South Korean Jang So-young (70) were equal second at the China LPGA Tour event. Chinese veterans Yan Panpan (70) and Zhang Na (68) and Thais Wannasiri Sirisampant (70) and Saraporn Chamchoi (70) were equal fourth, three shots back.
With the wind continuing to bluster over the Golden Mountain Gold Club, the 18-year-old Shi was seven-under 137 at the 500,000 yuan (US$80,500) tournament. Starting her round from the back nine, Shi had a bogey-free round going through 17 holes on the strength of six birdies. She bogeyed her final whole when her approach shot landed left of the green. She then executed a poor chip and two-putted.
“It was another windy day. Strong wind out there, but I managed to figure out the wind direction,” said Shi, who has qualified for the US Women’s Open in July.
