PALOS VERDES ESTATES, California—One of Seri’s Kids had an unlikely share of the lead in the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship after a windy Saturday afternoon at Palos Verdes Golf Club.
Jiyai Shin—the 35-year-old South Korean star who last played a full LPGA Tour schedule in 2013—shot a bogey-free 8-under 63 on the course overlooking the Pacific Ocean, then ended up tied for the lead hours later when defending champion Ruoning Yin closed with a triple bogey.
A stroke ahead entering the par-4 18th, Yin drove to the right into thick rough under trees, with more trees ahead. Instead of hitting sideways to the fairway, the 21-year-old Chinese player tried to punch a low shot through an opening in the trees toward the green, but the ball struck a trunk and bounced back into more trouble.
The fourth-ranked Yin had a 71 to drop into a tie for third at 7 under with second-ranked Nelly Korda and former University of Southern California players Nam and Gabriela Ruffels .
