South Korean golfer Jenny Shin secured a two-shot victory at the Women’s Scottish Open on Sunday to end a wait of more than 10 years for her second LPGA win.
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.
Shin was in tears after the final putt dropped on the 18th and was doused with water and champagne by a group of friends.
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.
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.
