China’s Ruixin Liu secured a three-stroke victory at the 2025 Aramco China Championship winning with a score of 16-under-par at Mission Hills China.

The 26-year-old teed it up in the final group of the day and started one shot behind overnight leader Trichat Cheenglab of Thailand.

Liu made her first birdie on the sixth hole before adding another on the 11th to put her into the lead on the World Cup Course.

An eagle on 16 put her two shots ahead and she finished in style with a birdie at the last for her round of 68 (-5) to seal her maiden Ladies European Tour (LET) title.

“I wasn't very nervous today at all, I was just trying to play my golf because it's very hot today,” she said.

“I tried to be patient and do my thing. On 16 today I thought about hitting a 3-hybrid instead of my driver and my driver said we have got to hit driver and have revenge on this hole so I'm glad I listened to him.

“It's so sweet, to have friends come over and watch me and to have my dad on the bag as well. The crowd is amazing so thank you.”

The victory was even sweeter for Liu who lives on site at Mission Hills China and it was the first time she has played in a professional event in Shenzhen since turning professional in 2017.

She added: “This is my home place I live here, it's very special for me to win my first PIF Global Series in Shenzhen. I'm really happy.”

Four players finished in a share of second place with Switzerland’s Chiara Tamburlini, Thailand’s Cheenglab and Chinese duo Liqi Zeng and Qianhui Lin all on 13-under-par.

Switzerland’s Tamburlini fired the round of the day with a bogey-free 66 (-7) to climb up the leaderboard.

“It was really fun! I haven’t in my career ever really been able to chase down the lead,” said Tamburlini. “I know it won’t be enough, but often times I have been getting ahead of myself and pushing too much, and I felt like things weren’t going my way around the turn.

“I didn’t make a birdie for five or six holes in the middle, I had some good looks. I stayed really patient which was right and it turned out nicely. I had no idea that I had four birdies in the last five holes until I was in scoring.”

Cheenglab, who was part of the victorious Team Rhodes yesterday, had an up-and-down day with three bogeys and two birdies in her first 11 holes, but she finished birdie-birdie to end the week in T2.

“Overall, the week was quite satisfying for me and more than I expected,” said the Thai star. “It was a shame today that I couldn’t make birdies, I have to work on my putter a bit with two or three three-putts.

“I was happy to play with the LPGA players, they’re such good players and I will go back home and practice more. It gives more confidence for Spain and for next year.”

Sweden’s Kajsa Arwefjäll and China’s Ruoning Yin finished in a tie for sixth place with South Africa’s Casandra Alexander, China’s Ying Xu and Sweden’s Moa Folke ended in a share of eighth place.

In the LET Order of Merit, Singapore’s Shannon Tan leads with a total of 2,411.74 and has a 219.26-point lead over England’s Mimi Rhodes with one event of the season remaining.

The LET will now take a two-week break before the season-ending Andalucía Costa del Sol presented by Oysho at Real Guadalhorce Club de Golf from 27-30 November.
