Background & Recent Form
South Korean golfer Jenny Shin claimed her first LPGA win in more than a decade at the Women’s Scottish Open in Troon, Scotland. Her lone prior victory came at the Texas Shootout in May 2016. The Scottish Open is the opening event of a three-tournament European swing that leads into the season’s final majors, the Evian Championship and the Women’s British Open.
Tournament Summary & Statistics
Shin entered the final round holding a five-shot lead. She posted a 3-over 75 (9-under total) on the Dundonald Links, preserving a two-stroke margin over A Lim Kim, who finished with a 4-under 68. Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn dropped to third after a late-round stumble. Shin’s round featured three consecutive bogeys on holes 6-8, followed by two birdies later in the day, while she also bogeyed two of the last three holes. Despite the setbacks, she maintained enough of her lead to secure the title.
Official Reactions
After sinking the final putt, Shin was moved to tears and celebrated with water and champagne from friends. Shin said she was less nervous than the previous day and emphasized that she “did everything right” despite the mid-round bogeys.
