To date, China has garnered 10 Asian Games golf medals, yet a gold remains elusive.
Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol wins the gold medal in the women’s individual golf event at the Asian Games.
The women’s team from Thailand, comprising Arpichaya Yubol, Eila Galitsky, and Patcharajutar Kongkraphan, clinched the gold. 21-year-old Yubol recorded a 19-under 269, securing another gold in the individual event. Additionally, the Thai men’s team earned a silver. Yin Ruoning, currently the world’s second-ranked women’s golfer and 2023 women’s PGA champion, entered the tournament as a favorite for the individual event. Accompanied by world No 13 Lin Xiyu and Liu Yu, China boasted the highest-ranked golfers in the women’s category. However, the rainy weather and damp course seemed to hinder their performance, with Yin ultimately tying for eighth in the individual competition.
South Korea emerged as another dominant force. Im Sung-jae, Kim Si-woo, Cho Woo-young, and Jang Yu-bin collaborated to win the men’s team gold. Im also bagged a silver in the individual category. Yu Hyun-jo clinched a bronze in the women’s individual event and, alongside Lim Ji-yoo and Kim Min-sol, secured a team silver.
