Jenny Shin claims 1st LPGA win since 2016 at Women's Scottish Open

Jenny Shin secured a victory at the Women's Scottish Open on Sunday, marking her first win on the tour since 2016. The 33-year-old golfer finished at 9 under, holding off the field despite a challenging final round at Dundonald Links.

After maintaining a lead since the first round, Shin navigated a difficult day on the course. She carded a 3-over 75 during the final stretch but managed to maintain her cushion to finish two shots ahead of the runner-up. Shin noted that this victory carries a distinct weight compared to her maiden title in 2016, as she believes this win reflects the significant work she invested in her game.

Following the final putt on the 18th hole, Shin celebrated her comeback on the green. A Lim Kim took second place with a 4-under 68, while Pajaree Anannarukarn finished in third. The tournament serves as a key stop during the summer tour through Europe, positioning players ahead of the upcoming Women's British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

Shin expressed her intent to carry this momentum into the next events on the calendar. Her win in Scotland provides a clear boost for her standing as the tour heads toward the final stretch of the season.
