In the women's golf competition at the Paris Olympics that ended on August 11, Chinese player Lin Xiyu won the bronze medal. This is the second time that Chinese golf has won an Olympic medal after Feng Shanshan won the third place at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Another Chinese player, Yin Ruoning, had some ups and downs in her performance and ended up tied for ninth place.

After the first three rounds, Lin Xiyu's score was 1 under par, with a total score of 212, tied for seventh place. At that time, she aimed directly at the Olympic medal: "I hope I can play the last round with a more positive attitude." Yesterday, Lin Xiyu swallowed two "bogeys" in the last round, caught five "birdies", and finally won the third place with a total score of 281. New Zealand player Lydia Ko and German player Esther Henselet won the gold and silver medals respectively.

This year is Lin Xiyu's third time participating in the Olympics. Golf returned to the Olympic family in Rio, and Lin Xiyu also became the first female player to hit a hole-in-one in the Olympic Games. She recalled that she seemed a little ignorant at the time, and the most unforgettable moment was the hole-in-one, "I was very lucky in Rio."

Talking about the Tokyo Olympics, Lin Xiyu admitted that she felt deeply that the expectations of people around her were a bit high, which prompted her to set higher goals for herself. She said: "Although I am a few years older than Yin Ruoning, I got a lot of encouragement from Yin Ruoning when I played with her."

In this Paris Olympics, Chinese women's golf team sent two players, Lin Xiyu and Yin Ruoning. In the end, Lin Xiyu won another medal for Chinese women's golf.
