Xiyu Lin Wins Aramco Team Series – Hong Kong

Xiyu Lin clinched her third Ladies European Tour (LET) title after securing a playoff victory at the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Hong Kong.

The final round of the event in Hong Kong had to be cancelled due to Typhoon Koinu with the government issuing a T8 alert.

At the end of the second round on Saturday, there were two players tied at the top of the leaderboard on 11-under-par with Korea’s Jin Young Ko and China’s Lin.

With the tournament being shortened to 36 holes, both Ko and Lin headed back to Hong Kong Golf Club on Sunday morning for a playoff that started at 9.30 am (local time).

On the first playoff hole, world number three Ko found the water with her second shot but landed her fourth shot just a few feet from the pin.

Lin had the chance to make a par putt to win, but it missed on the right side, so she tapped in for a five before Ko rolled in her putt to also make a five and send them both back to the tee.
