TROON, Scotland (AP) \u2014 After waiting more than 10 years for her second LPGA win, South Korean golfer Jenny Shin secured a two-shot victory at the Women\u2019s Scottish Open on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old Shin, who won the Texas Shootout in May 2016, carded a 3-over 75 on the Dundonald Links to finish at 9 under. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy first one didn\u2019t really feel like a win at the time,\u201d Shin said. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel like I deserved it. It felt very accidental. But this one definitely feels a lot different. This one feels like I earned it. I worked hard for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shin was in tears after the final putt dropped on the 18th and was doused with water and champagne by a group of friends.<\/p>\n
Leading since the first round, Shin could afford three straight bogies on Nos. 6-8 after starting the final round with a five-shot lead over Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn (74). Shin also bogeyed two of the last three holes but had made two birdies earlier.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t as nervous as yesterday,\u201d Shin said. “I feel like I\u2019ve done everything right but just wasn\u2019t hitting it like I was the last three days and just hitting it into bunkers and bushes and that wasn\u2019t fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith three bogies in a row, I thought, \u2018oh boy, I don\u2019t know where this is going to go\u2019. But yeah, I hung in there, so I\u2019m quite proud of myself and very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Lim Kim finished second after a 4-under 68, with four straight birdies helping her leapfrog two shots ahead of Anannarukarn, who dropped to third. <\/p>\n
The Women\u2019s Scottish Open is part of a three-tournament swing through Europe between the final two majors \u2014 the Evian Championship and the Women\u2019s British Open starting Thursday at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.<\/p>\n
