Chinese golfer, 17, dreams big after 'astonishing' startHat-trick of wins: China's 17-year-old Yin Ruoning, seen here competing as an amateur at the US LPGA Tour's Shanghai event last yearSHANGHAI: Yin Ruoning. Yin completed her hat-trick of triumphs, which have all come on the China LPGA Tour, with a one-stroke victory earlier this month at the Orient Masters in Xiamen. "Yes, definitely," the Shanghai-based rising star told AFP unflinchingly in English, when asked if becoming the top women's golfer on the planet is her ultimate ambition. Men's and women's golf is littered with prodigious talents who burst onto the scene as teenagers, only to disappear into obscurity. Putting Yin's achievements into further context, New Zealand's Lydia Ko became women's world number one at the same age in 2015.
