Shunyi, China: The current strength in depth of China’s female amateur contingent was once more highlighted during the CLPG Tour’s Beijing Women’s Challenge.

While Zhou Shiyuan, Xu Ying and Liu Yujie were representing the country in the Queen Sirikit Cup in Japan, four other promising mainland prospects had the distinction of finishing in the top-10 in the fifth leg of China’s 2025 professional circuit.

Guangdong-based Wang Xinyu was the leading member of the quartet, the teenager shooting a closing one-under 71 at Beijing Orient Pearl Golf Club to end in equal fourth on 211 with veteran Pan Yanhong.

Overnight leader Cui Jinghan, who tied for 27th at the 2025 Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific (WAAP) in Vietnam in March, struggled to a final-day 77 and dropped to sixth on 212.

That was one stroke and one place ahead of Li Menghan, the joint runner-up in the Girls’ Division at last month’s Royal Cup in Japan and equal 17th at the WAAP.

Meanwhile, defending Beijing Women’s Challenge champion Ren Yijia, a member of the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation’s winning Patsy Hankins Trophy team in January and 94th in the World Golf Amateur Ranking, closed with a two-under 70 to finish equal ninth.

For Wang Xinyu it was her first top-10 finish at a CLPG Tour event. The 17-year-old Hunan native said: “Making top-10 this week is genuinely satisfying, though I can’t ignore some lingering disappointment. My iron accuracy was way off. I kept missing greens and had to rely on my short game all week. Those approach shots were just not finding their targets.

“The wind today was brutal. Whether hitting into headwinds or downwind, every iron and wood required precise yardage adjustments. You had to calculate everything perfectly. Considering everything, my performance across these three days was acceptable.”

The tournament was won by 21-year-old Beijinger Lin Qianhui, her maiden professional victory.
