HANGZHOU, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's golfers secured two gold medals in women's events, while Chinese players fell short of expectations as the final round of the Asian Games golf tournament concluded here on Sunday.

The women's team from Thailand, comprising Arpichaya Yubol, Eila Galitsky, and Patcharajutar Kongkraphan, clinched the gold. 21-year-old Yubol recorded a 19-under 269, securing another gold in the individual event. Additionally, the Thai men's team earned a silver.

Host China delivered a subdued performance throughout the four-day competition, managing only a bronze in the women's team event.

Yin Ruoning, currently the world's second-ranked women's golfer and 2023 women's PGA champion, entered the tournament as a favorite for the individual event. Accompanied by world No. 13 Lin Xiyu and Liu Yu, China boasted the highest-ranked golfers in the women's category.

To date, China has garnered 10 Asian Games golf medals, yet a gold remains elusive.

South Korea emerged as another dominant force. Im Sung-jae, Kim Si-woo, Cho Woo-young, and Jang Yu-bin collaborated to win the men's team gold. Im also bagged a silver in the individual category. Yu Hyun-jo clinched a bronze in the women's individual event and, alongside Lim Ji-yoo and Kim Min-sol, secured a team silver.
