Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\nJenny Shin survived a tricky final round to see off fellow South Korean A-Lim Kim and win the Women’s Scottish Open at Dundonald.<\/p>\n
Shin hit three bogeys on the front nine in a three-over-par 75 to finish on nine under.<\/p>\n
Kim, who carded a fine 68, was two shots behind, with Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn a further two strokes back in third.<\/p>\n
It was Shin’s first title in more than 10 years and only her second on the LPGA Tour in 368 attempts.<\/p>\n
She 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
“My first one didn’t really feel like a win at the time,” said Shin, whose debut title came at the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout in 2016.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t feel like I deserved it. It felt very accidental.<\/p>\n
“But this one definitely feels a lot different. This one feels like I earned it. I worked hard for it.”<\/p>\n
Only 10 players broke par after four rounds, with England’s Charley Hull finishing on 10 over after a round of 74.<\/p>\n
American Nelly Korda, who has won two of the four majors played this year, went round in 69 for a share of 16th on two over.<\/p>\n
The final major of the year, the Women’s Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes in Lancashire, starts on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“We experienced everything this week – sunshine, a little bit of warmth, and sideways rain, gusty winds, but that’s a given out here,” said Korda.<\/p>\n
“So [I am] just trying to get into the mindset for next week. There’s so many things that are going on during your shot that you really have to stay committed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Women’s Scottish Open final leaderboard -9 J Shin (Kor); -7 A Kim (Kor); -5 P Anannarukarn (Tha); -4…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":569278,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-569277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/569278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
