Reignwood China Women's Classic Pang Runzhi took the lead with 66 strokes and fought for back-to-back championships

On June 29, Beijing time, Pang Runzhi, a 17-year-old girl from Tianjin, exceeded her personal expectations on Saturday and shot a 66 at the Golden Bear Course of Reignwood Ecological Park, 6 under par, and rushed to the top of the leading list of the Reignwood China Women's Classic.

Her three-round score of 207 (72-69-66) was 9 under par to head into the fourth and final round with a three-shot lead and a back-to-back winning streak.

Thailand's 17-year-old amateur Pimpisa hit the final hole and made a bogey putt without going into the hole, swallowing a double bogey to shoot a 71 to tie second with Thailand's 23-year-old professional Khao Tida (69) at a 6-under par 210.

Qualifier Kan Bonnaberti started the day leading the day, holing in the ninth fairway for an eagle with a one-shot gap between her and Pang Yunzhi, but three bogeys on the final four holes to shoot a 75 and slip into a tie for fourth.

Pang started the third round three shots behind and tied for fourth, and she went out and made three birdies in quick succession. On the first hole, she putted a 5-foot birdie putt; On the second hole, the par-5 hole was all putted by the green; On the third hole, she putted a 14-foot putt.

Pang Runzhi's pace of progress has not stopped. On the par-3 sixth, she teed off to six feet to the right of the flagstick and birdied the eighth with two putts and two putts.

Despite a bogey on the ninth, Pang hit the best shot of the day on the par-4 10th. She stood on the tough ball of the bunker nose and hit the 6-iron headwind four feet to the side of the flagstick to birdie again. Then on the 11th hole, she hit another brilliant 8-iron from the woods to the right of the green to save Par.

The Tianjin girl didn't miss the chance to play two par-5s on the back nine, with a 4-foot shot from 70 yards out on the 13th and a 27-foot eagle putt from outside the green on the 16th for a dead birdie.

"I woke up today without thinking of such an achievement. I still set myself a goal of -4 strokes, but I didn't expect to catch three birdies in a row at the beginning of the day, and then I was in good shape all day," Pang Runzhi said, "I can score 8 points in this round, and the main point deduction is the chip, and two chipping shots are very unsatisfactory, so I have to practice hard when I go back." ”

Two weeks ago, Pang Yunzhi defeated Chua Danlin at Laguna National Golf & Country Club to achieve her first win on the Women's China Tour at the Singapore Ladies Masters. If she wins, she will be the first player to win back-to-back games since Zeng Liqi won the Zhangjiagang Shuangshan Challenge and the China High School Association Women's Championship at the end of 2022.

"I'm going to go tomorrow with confidence. You can only play well if you have self-confidence," Pang Runzhi said, "I have to try to calm down and calm down." ”

Among Pang Runzhi's closest opponents, Pimpisa, who holds a wild card from Reignwood Group, is the same age as Pang Runzhi and plans to study at Arizona State University in the United States in the future. In her first trip to China, Pimpisa made two bogeys on the first four holes, but she turned things around with two birdies in quick succession before the turn, including a 12-foot birdie putt on the 12th and an 18-foot birdie putt on the 14th. When she birdied the 16th hole, she was just one shot away from Pang Yunzhi, but missed the last hole.

"Even though I made a double bogey on the last hole, I shot -1 and I think it's pretty good," Pimpisa said, "You know, I started with a +2 and it was good to still have a chance to win the first title on the Women's China Tour." Tomorrow I'm going to follow my plan and try to hit a low shot. Even if there is a bogey, I will accept it. ”

Lu Li

Today's other low shot also belongs to the Chinese player. Lu Li, a 39-year-old player from the Yi ethnic group in Sichuan, hit a 2-foot iron on the par-5 8th hole to catch a dead eagle and five birdies to shoot a 66 to move up to a tie for fourth. In addition, Zhou Jiayi, a graduate student of Shanghai University of Sport, was in the same group as Pang Runzhi, shooting a 72 and ranking seventh.

The Reignwood China Women's Elite has a total prize fund of 1 million yuan and a championship prize of 150,000 yuan, which is one of the regular events with the highest prize amount in the women's middle tour. The final round of the tournament will take place on Sunday, so let's wait and see who will make it to the top of Beijing's famous Golden Bear Golf Club.
