01최혜진 선두 사수…인뤄닝 '노보기' 무결점 플레이로 추격
최혜진이 미국여자프로골프(LPGA) 투어 뷰익 LPGA 상하이에서 리더보드 최상위를 지켜내며 우승을 향한 순항을 이어갔다.
강력한 라이벌인 인뤄닝은 이번 라운드에서 보기 없이 67타를 쳐내는 무결점 플레이를 펼쳐 선두 최혜진을 2타 차로 바짝 추격했다.
홈 팬들의 응원을 등에 업은 인뤄닝이 안정적인 경기력으로 타수를 줄여감에 따라, 남은 라운드에서 최혜진과의 우승 경쟁이 한층 더 치열해질 전망이다.

Ruoning Yin of China chips onto the 16th green during the third round of the Buick LPGA Shanghai 2026 at Sheshan Golf Club on October 17, 2026 in Shanghai, China.

Ruoning Yin fired a bogey-free 5-under 67 in the third round of the Buick LPGA Shanghai on Saturday, moving within two strokes of leader Hye-Jin Choi as she positions herself for a potential back-to-back victory.
Yin, who won her previous start at the FM Championship, sits in third place at 7-under 209 (68-74-67) heading into Sunday's final round.
"I think my ball striking is pretty good," Yin said following her third round. "Even though I missed six greens, my scramble saved me."
Despite windier conditions, Yin took advantage of shorter course setups, carding five birdies during a round that required just 26 putts. She hit 10 of 14 fairways, reached 13 of 18 greens in regulation, and went 1-for-1 on sand saves.
Playing in front of an enthusiastic home crowd, Yin drew large galleries throughout the day.
"It's amazing, especially today a weekend," Yin said. "A lot of kids came out and the crowd is getting bigger I think the back nine. Just amazing play in front of all of the fans, and I hope tomorrow I can put on a show."
A victory on Sunday would make her the seventh player with multiple titles in the 2026 LPGA Tour season, joining Nelly Korda, Hyo Joo Kim, Hannah Green, Jeeno Thitikul, Haeran Ryu, and Miyu Yamashita. It would also mark her seventh career LPGA Tour title, bringing her within three wins of Shanshan Feng's record for the most by a player from the People's Republic of China.
Additionally, a win would join her with Danielle Kang as the only multi-time champions of the Buick LPGA Shanghai and push her official season earnings past $3 million.
