PETALING JAYA: China’s Yin Ruoning is brimming with confidence as she heads into the final round of the Maybank Championship tied for first place but the battle on the course will continue as she is neck-and-neck with her good friend Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand.

Ruoning carded a 66 at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) yesterday, giving her a three-day total of 16-under 200, equal with Jeeno and South Korea’s Ryu Hae-ran.
