Video Summary
AI GeneratedJenny Shin ended a decade-long winless drought to claim victory at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links. Despite a dramatic final-round collapse and pressure from challengers like Ailin Kim and Anana Rukan, Shin's early dominance and back-nine resilience secured her a two-shot win, finishing at nine under par and significantly boosting her world ranking.
Hello and welcome to the Ladies European Tour and to Scotland,
where the biggest names in women's golf were teeing it up at Dundonald Links in Ayrshire
at the LET LPGA co-sanctioned ISPS Handa with Scottish Open.
Oh look at this, great shot from Charlie Hull.
That is a sensational shot.
How has that not gone in?
It's working, birdie on the last quarter.
I was going to say unbelievable, of course she does, unfazed, unstoppable.
Dry hard fairways and a strong win, Dundonald a tough challenge on day one.
Just ask Charlie Hull, some tough pin positions as seen here at the fifth.
In truth though a poor putt from the European Solheim star
and the course handed out a severe punishment.
Once it caught the slope it was game over.
Things went from bad to worse, this Charlie Hull's third attempt to chip it back on the green
and it went I'm afraid as well as the first two.
In the end a nine and an opening day 78.
Defending champion Lottie Wode also off to a tough start,
three over after her first four holes but she fought back.
This a brilliant shot in at the par five fifth.
No eagle but a much needed birdie in the end, a 74
and on a day of tough scoring her title defense still just about on.
Nelly Korda has been at her imperious best this year,
two major wins already in the bank, ecliptism day one of her brilliant best.
This monster at the fourth, the pick of four birdies in a 72.
Oh what a putt that was from Nelly Korda, that was just the perfect piece wasn't it?
The shot of the day came from Esther Henselight
who's getting a bit of a reputation for the spectacular.
Germany's number one seemed to be in trouble at 13 but not for long.
Second place here in 2024 Henselight well set again at two under par.
2020 US Women's Open winner Aelim Kim part of the afternoon wave
and she made a remarkable seven birdies.
The putter as hard as no doubt her ears were, she closed five under, just one back.
Lauren Coughlin won this event in 2024, part of a golden year for the American
and she was leading the way once again.
The putter key to victory that year and working nicely now,
six under and in top spot but she wasn't alone.
Thanks to another putting powerhouse Jenny Shin.
Plenty to choose from but this at the ninth, her last, the pick.
Simply brilliant from the one-time LPGA champion in a 66, Shin outshining the stars.
A good start too for Lisa Pedersen and fellow Swede in Solheim skipper Anna Norquist.
Shin out ahead though and she paid tribute to her Irish caddie Shane Codd
for keeping her in the zone.
Yeah, he's been working with me the last two events and hopefully until the rest of the year
but he's good fun, we have a lot of good stories out there.
Really glad we're not mic'd up, let's just put it that way.
I was gonna say can you share some with me but I think the answer's no, huh?
No, definitely no.
Great cold and windy early on, the Scottish summer returning on day two.
Big crowds out as well to watch the group of Nelly Korda, Lottie Wode and Charlie Hull
and all three produce some moments to remember.
Hull with this from range at 13 in a 71 fighting back to make the weekend.
Nelly Korda starting the round at level par came out firing with a couple of early birdies,
one here at the par 5 14th.
After missing the cup for the first time in two years on her last start at Evian,
the world number one around for the weekend this time
but some uncharacteristic mistakes crept in, four closing bogeys for a 76.
Defending champion Wode, the standout member of the three,
after an early double bogey she recovered well.
This a near perfect five iron at the par 3 15th
which ended up being little more than a tapping birdie.
A round of 70, level par overall.
Pajari and Laroucan already has a win in British conditions
at a co-sanctioned event in Northern Ireland in 2021.
This at five would set up one of four day two birdies in a round of three under,
leaving her four under overall.
The putter went a little cold for Lauren Coghlan in the second round apart from at the fourth.
A stunner from the American Solheim player in an otherwise stuttering 74,
she was another four under.
No doubt about the shot of the day from LPGA rookie Erica Hara.
Not that you would know it from her reaction
but this from 130 yards at the 10th was simply perfection.
In it dropped for a two-shot eagle.
Hara is leading the rookie race over in America and it's easy to see why.
A 70, another in that group four under.
One behind Aelim Kim, a major winning touch from the Korean here at the seventh to save par.
A 67 on day one, level par 72 on day two, five under overall.
Esther Hensonite with a rare thing on day two, a bogey free round.
Some lovely approach shots from the German and two birdies and an eagle
helped her to a 68 and a six under par total.
But out ahead some five shots clear was Jenny Shin.
The 33-year-old looking untroubled as she went out in the afternoon.
A bogey at the first, she birdied the second,
saved par at the third and then kept the birdies coming.
More were to follow at five, eight and here at 11 before two more on the way in.
11 under overall after a day two 67.
Shin, the runaway halfway leader.
Hattie Tavitanikid amongst those four under with inner Yoon
and 2017 champ Mi-Hyang Lee with impressive knocks of 68.
All some way behind the brilliant Jenny Shin.
Surprise, surprise.
It was windy on day three and frankly a little cold for July.
The big three of Lottie Wo, Charlie Hull and Nelly Korda all saw their challenges fade away.
Not so Aelim Kim.
How about this for a world judge putt at the eighth?
She was going well at the turn but dropped three shots on the way in for a 74.
Three under overall.
A challenging day two for Esther Henselight.
Playing in the final group she went out in 39 although she did recover on the back nine.
This at 13 one of two unanswered birdies from the German who was looking for a first LPGA win.
A round of one over back to a share of third.
Alongside the rising Japanese star Erika Hara.
After impressing in Evian in her last event.
She's kept that form going in what are very different conditions here in Scotland.
71 from Hara.
She and Henselight both five under par.
Two behind Pajari and a Narukan.
The tie with the joint lowest round of the day.
A bogey free 69.
A sign of just how tough the links that Donald was playing.
Not seemingly the green at 12 though.
A wonderful touch from the two-time LPGA Tour winner.
But out ahead as she had been all week was Jenny Shin.
The Korean dominating the tournament.
An untroubled 71 as she looks to complete a remarkable return to the winning circle.
After a 10-year break.
At 12 under she held a five-shot lead and on the brink.
Hara and Henselight in third but some seven shots behind.
Shin you assume full of confidence.
But after such a long time since her last win anything but.
Hopefully tomorrow be a little better.
Because I experienced all the tough nerves on the front nine today.
So yeah wish me luck.
Stay with us to see if Jenny could block out the negative thoughts.
And close it out at the home of golf.
We'll see you after the break.
Hello and welcome back to the west coast of Scotland.
And the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open.
At the Carl Phillips Design Dundunnal Blinks.
Where Jenny Shin looks to be on course for her first LET title.
And second on the LPGA.
The Korean with a commanding five-shot lead.
After a week where she's dominated her rivals.
A quick reminder then of how things stand.
Shin with a huge advantage.
But Pajari Anna Narukan has won in British conditions before.
While Erika Hara and Esther Henselight both have the class to chase Shin down.
A win at the home of golf at stake.
Let's catch up with some of the early action.
Very windy and at times wet as the final round got underway.
A good start needed from the chasing pack.
But it was anything but.
Anna Narukan bogeyed the first.
And then this would lead to a double at the second.
Jenny Shin parred her opening two holes.
And she came this close to her first birdie of the day at the third.
An up and down start from Erika Hara.
Won over for the day before this tee shot at the sixth.
Leading to a birdie.
Back to five under par.
Shin had stretched her lead to eight shots at one stage.
But after finding the bunker off the tee at six.
She would make a bogey four.
Anna Narukan firmly on the comeback trail.
After those three early drop shots.
She bogeyed the third, fifth.
And then here at seven.
To be back where she started the day.
Seven under.
And signs of a Shin wobble.
After making just three bogeys over the first three days.
Two in successive holes from the leader.
A big lead starting to dwindle.
And it was game on for the chasing pack.
A three shot advantage now for Shin.
With Bajari Anna Narukan her closest challenger.
I'm Richard Coffman.
Alongside me is Sophie Walker.
And we join the leader in trouble at eight.
Indeed the hardest hole on the golf course.
And Shin has found the trap.
She will not be able to go for the green.
From there.
Faithful as sand.
They're kind of just rubbing it all in.
Isn't she really?
Literally.
So a couple of drop shots.
More trouble at eight.
Meanwhile leading the race.
For the three AIG women open spots available.
To those yet to have qualified.
Is Shana Tiwanisayan.
And she's already three under for the day.
And that nine iron.
So close there for a hole in one.
We said that on that hole didn't we?
Well Shin has still got over 150 yards.
This is a five iron.
The wind beating into her face.
A challenging green.
If you miss it left it's gone down the valley.
Oh that is unbelievable.
Step up and hit a golf shot.
She needed that.
Well if she rolls that in.
She gets more of that sand away.
That could become a crucial part of.
What seemed to be a march to victory.
Having 35.
If she can knock this in.
Aelim Kim.
She moves to four under par.
Player who's shown her liking for Lynx golf.
Thumbs up there.
Played the final round of the AIG women's open last year.
In the final pairing with the winner Yamashita.
Hara hasn't coped particularly well in the wind.
Has fanned her second shot out to the right.
And that was the wrong choice.
A floaty lob wedge.
Not getting to the back tier here on eight.
Yeah in danger of dropping a shot for the second hole in a row.
There's always some good crowds in Scotland.
Here's the player that's a real threat to Shin.
Playing alongside Anana Rukan.
She sticks it swan in tight.
Remember Shin's got 10 feet for her par.
Yeah when she won in Northern Ireland.
She'd been four back going into the last day.
Five this time around.
Hentalight was second at the Scottish Open in 2024.
Currently five under.
The easiest hole on the golf course ten.
That will get better.
Yeah everyone's got different agendas at the moment.
She's the last player in from the world ranking spots for the Solheim Cup.
So this for Hara to avoid another drop.
Back-to-back bogeys for the Japanese player.
Yeah four bogeys on the card when you're starting the day.
What seven behind.
I know she's in the final group.
But already you feel like it's too much of an uphill task.
Fritting away shots.
We're going to focus on Jenny Shin.
As it has been since she set that pace with an opening day 66.
This would be some par Sophie.
Well especially in the circumstances has just dropped two shots in a row.
Outside right.
Oh stay up.
Well she'd only made three bogeys the entire tournament.
And has now made a hat trick of them in this final round.
Yeah after the second hole she was eight in front.
If Pajari holds her pot it's going to be down to two.
Looks like a girl that's trying to fight this Lynx golf now.
Left to right.
An over read.
Let her off really hasn't she.
Yeah it's been a topsy-turvy day for the time.
Back to six under again.
But this run from Shin has maybe brought a few others into play as well.
This is for back-to-back birdies for Aileen Kim.
Made six on here yesterday.
Made three today.
Lovely three on ten.
And she's only four back now.
Not a crisis.
But it is starting to get a little critical for Jenny Shin.
Well she'll feel that the only person that can beat her is herself.
And missing the fairway here.
You can get no control.
It's downwind.
Downhill.
Goodbye.
Only had a wedge in hand inside 100 yards.
But on Lynx golf you've got to find the fairways for the control.
Only had two powers on this front nine.
Pajari.
And that's on the par threes.
88 pin.
That's where you need to land it and finish it.
Pressure back on from the Thai player.
Up and down required from Jenny Shin.
Birdie opportunity upcoming for the Thai.
Back to Henselight.
This to get to six under.
And she's nailed it.
Players won twice on the LEDT.
But had three runner-up finishes.
Including one here in Scotland on the LPGA Tour.
This is Jenny's fifth green in a row missed.
Has to try and land it into the bank.
Take the sting out of it.
Because it's all downhill.
She's trying.
She says she loves the creativity of Lynx golf.
Particularly around the green.
Saw a little example of that there.
Ailing with a pitching wedge.
It's 117 yards.
That needs to sit.
All seeps away towards the front edge.
Can she avoid a fourth bogey in succession?
Oh, that's huge.
It's only a par.
But it feels like a birdie for Jenny Shin.
And in 39, that lead has been eroded.
But yeah, that was so important for the 33-year-old Korean.
The green socks of the Irish caddie there, Shane Codd.
On the bag for maybe the last three weeks for Jenny.
And the lead is down to two.
A fourth birdie on this front nine for Anna Rukant.
Out in level par.
Pretty colourful scorecard.
She won't cut.
This is the exact position she'd have wanted to be.
Heading into this back nine.
Playing alongside Jenny Shin.
Slow putt.
Moving from left to right.
Oh, she's got another one.
On a roll, Ailin Kim.
Three in a row.
Things are tightening up in Scotland.
I feel like it's almost like a match play situation
in this final group between Pajari and Jenny.
Winner of the match play at Shadow Creek, Anna Rukant.
Oh, I thought that was going to jump over the shoulder
and it just stuck in there.
That was a missed opportunity,
especially playing first into 10 in front of Jenny Shin.
She's found the fairway down the left here at 10.
110 yards gap wedge.
Wind from right to left.
Oh, that's delightful.
Now that's the kind of golf we've been
used to seeing from Shin the last few days.
Look at that walk.
A lot more determined there, isn't she?
Yeah, a bit more of a bounce in the step.
Here's the 2021 champion.
Getting back to level par.
15 weeks pregnant, Ryan O'Toole.
She said she suffered in those first three months
with morning sickness,
so is happy to be out on the golf course.
Inside the top 10.
This is quick.
And we'll swipe from left to right.
A little bit of a misjudgment,
but not one that you would expect her to miss.
Teebox has been pushed forward on 18.
It's reachable this par five.
And that is outrageous by the world number one Nelly Korda.
She's got that for Eagle.
Yeah, having her best round of the week.
Next week, she'll be trying to make it
major number three of the year.
The momentum is back with Jenny Shin.
That is two significant putts in a row.
This time for Birdie and she gets back to minus 10.
Yeah, she's talked openly about her nerves.
She would have been feeling it on that front nine,
but there are some nerves settled by those putts
and an Arukan to make sure of her four.
Oh, Pajari, you had her in your sights.
That's a two shot swing on 10.
And it means Jenny Shin is four ahead again.
Just like that.
That ball was moving, but it's OK.
Three putts there, bogey.
And here's a player, though, that is seemingly in the mood.
She did this three years ago
when she went on a run of six birdies in seven holes.
Aileen Kim finished fourth that year.
Oh, and there's another stunner from the Korean.
Definitely looking in the mood.
The Queen is her nickname.
Can't you be the queen of the links?
Corder for Eagle.
That is going to be a 68.
Not threatened a fifth win of the year,
but should be a top 20.
And in terms of preparation, Sophie,
for what's coming up next week, pretty ideal.
That's what she's here for,
the preparation to try and win her third major of the year.
It's not been done since Inby Park in 2005.
Missed the green with her second,
chipped up to here.
And unfortunately, a drop for Henselight back to five under.
It has been the club that has let her down.
It's one of those days you can pick up some speed
on the Firth of Clyde, for sure.
Oh, she's timing her run to perfection.
Four birdies now for Aileen Kim.
Well, 10 years and 231 LPGA starts since her last victory.
You had the feeling it would be simple,
but Jenny Shin is still in front in Scotland.
Her lead, three shots.
Now she has been since day one.
Jenny Shin still leading the ISPS Hander Women's Scottish Open.
The Korean who started the day with a five shot advantage
has parred the 11th.
She's now three ahead.
Really good tee shot into the wind, down 12.
Caught the down slope, which means she's got 91 pin.
We'll have to flight this wedge down.
Look at that sawn off follow through.
Oh, and it's held on.
Oh, there was danger right of the pin,
but there's nothing wrong with the ball finishing there.
She's back.
She is looking very much back in control.
She's been out here 16 years,
but having such a big lead on a Sunday is uncharted territory.
She's feeling it again.
Six off the right, but that's a false position
because the green slopes heavily to the right.
There is evidence of that there.
Gobbled up by one of the greenside bunkers,
which you know are tough.
They've got stairs going into them.
Chipping this one, Esther Henselight,
even though she's on the green.
Taking the slope out of play.
Well, she likes a chip on 13.
She chipped in on Thursday from,
well, she had no business doing that.
And the green keepers will be pleased, Esther.
We did not yet know that you were even there.
Well, nicely played from Anna Narukan.
She's kind of playing the inverse of Shin, isn't she?
When Shin was struggling, she was surging.
Now it seems to be the other way around.
And suddenly Aelim Kim is the threat.
High cut, left to right wind.
Come on down.
Missed the bank.
Another yard right of that.
That would have gone to within gimme distance.
To avoid another drop shot for Pajarianna Narukan.
That's two bogeys in three holes to start the back nine.
Could be another two-shot swing between herself
and the leader, Jenny Shin.
Make it five in a row.
Very strange stroke.
It was a long way back
and important deceleration on the way through.
It's only going to be a par for Aelim.
So that stops the run.
Very much now the closest challenger to Jenny Shin.
Esther in shock that she chipped one from off the green.
So with this count as a one putt?
Yeah.
Come on, Esther.
Hit it.
That's untimely.
Bogeys at 12 and now 13.
She slips back to four under.
But surely for Shin?
This will cure all the nerves.
Well done.
When you've got that bigger lead,
no player wants to lose it the way that she did.
She's four ahead again.
Feels like order's been restored.
Par five.
Another chance for Kim coming up.
It's almost like a switch has been flicked, hasn't it?
Since that putt went in at nine.
It's like the doubt has gone now for Shin.
She's back in game mode.
7i in 135 yards, which just shows the strength of the wind.
That's superb to the right of the pin.
But it's a good two club wind out there.
We're finally seeing Dundonald Links play firm, fast and windy in 2026.
A couple of drop shots.
Hensonite trying to get back to five under.
And that's the way it's been on the greens on this back nine.
Just the sixth German player to play in the Solheim Cup.
And a big silver medalist.
She's achieved so much, but yet to win on the LPGA Tour.
Pejari's won twice.
128 yards into this pin.
Misses low.
She's six adrift now.
And holes are starting to run out for Anna Nurukam.
Feels like it's between two.
It does.
She was there, wasn't she?
After nine holes.
She got within two.
Just shows.
It's 18 holes.
The peaks and troughs.
The emotions of Jenny Shin.
Go on.
Oh, she was about to step that one in.
You feel like she's been through the worst of it though, don't you?
She's come out the other side.
Yeah, it's funny.
After yesterday's round, she called it boring and nerve-wracking.
It hasn't been boring today for sure.
There has been a little bit of nerve-wracking going on.
Opportunity missed.
One of the trains that makes its way from Ayr to Glasgow.
Unfortunately, Ailin Kim is off the birdie train.
She made those four in a row and has missed two great chances.
13 and 14.
Patti Tava-Tanekit finishes with an eagle.
That dinner you had with her last night, Sophie, obviously done no harm.
No, and obviously she paid.
Three rounds in the 60s.
Just that 78 on Saturday.
Laid up in two here at the par 5, Jenny Shin.
Play to your strengths.
83 yards.
Asking for it to get right.
The way things are, I mean, parsing from here may well do her.
Because this hole and 16 are playing two of the toughest on the golf course.
This is into a gale wind.
A six iron for Kim.
That could kick in from the right.
Or not.
Some lucky to stay up there.
Needs a bit of magic.
Pajari and then a Rukan.
You can see the left to right wind.
So they're aiming left of the pin from inside 100 yards.
Controlled that one excellently.
Yeah, delightful touch from the tight.
Yeah, you're right.
She was a little unlucky, not just to get one of those firm bounces.
And a decent effort.
Nothing wrong with a par at 15.
Nothing wrong with hitting the green at 15.
This for a third birdie on this back nine for Jenny Shim.
This can get away from you though.
Downhill left to right.
Hasn't she hit some beautiful putts?
Those last two.
How did they not drop?
But you can see now she's hitting the golf shot.
She's walking stronger.
Head held higher and scaring the hole.
Looks a totally different golfer than when we saw her tap in on the eighth hole.
Kind of now or never.
Looks like it's going to be the latter.
Putter's gone cold.
She's gone off the boil at the turn.
She looked like she was right there to pounce.
She birdied both of the par fives on the front nine, didn't she?
And Anna Rukan.
This for par.
Ticking the holes off.
Four left for our leader.
And a lead of four shots for her as well.
Halim Kim is going to have to fight this heavy right to left wind
to try and get towards that back pin.
Good talking to.
Just made the front edge.
That one.
Not the ball nearer the flag.
The one just short and right.
It's on the green.
Why is this hole playing so hard?
It's the strongest of the wind.
It's three club wind.
A green that rejects all golf balls.
I mean, look at that stinger.
Five needs to get over the bunker.
So the green complex.
It's got three tiers to it.
You can see all the run offs as well.
It should receive an eight iron.
Not trying to beat down a five iron.
One of those that you'd be happy to two putt.
But given the circumstances, Halim Kim could do with holding it.
Come back.
Oh, she hasn't.
And you can see the green complexes here at Dundonod Links.
It's a new Links.
So they've really gone to town on the greens.
We don't see that on a traditional Links course that has been there a hundred years.
Which you can't watch.
Yeah, fifth year in a row that Dundonod Links is hosting this ISPS hand at Women's Scottish Open.
Sit down.
Oh, that has thrown in three putt territory now for Jenny Shin.
Was over par after day one.
Shot a round of 78.
Aki Iwai.
And now she's level par for the tournament.
She finished third on her last start at Evian.
Great fight back.
Has done well to find the top tier.
And Anna Rukan with her five iron.
This one breaking from right to left.
Decent effort there.
Been lots of youngsters out there today.
Not an easy job though for dad though.
Carrying around 18 holes.
Still, this for par.
Crucial putt.
The mini fist pump.
She has only had one three putt all week.
She makes a three putt there.
Then the next three holes are anxious.
Even more anxious than normal.
But that brings a huge smile to her face.
Yeah, you could see the relief.
It was palpable.
Just a par for Pajari.
Well, you just wonder.
Looking good.
The decade wait for a win.
It could be over soon for Jenny Shin.
A four shot lead to take into the final three holes
at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open.
Welcome back to Dundon of Links.
Where despite some front nine wobbles,
Jenny Shin seems to be back in control of things
at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open.
But some work to do for the leader at 16.
Mr Fairway off the tee.
Seven iron to here.
And the bunker is lurking.
Has to play this long on the flag.
You can't be sure.
Very sensible.
Yeah, that's the right option.
Really don't want to throw double bogey
into the equation given where she is right now.
3,738 days since her last win.
Ailin Kim really needs to birdie the last two.
Good drive.
And a cracking links shot there.
Here's the champion of five years ago.
Rhino tool who last week said she didn't touch a club.
Went on holiday in Greece.
It might be the right formula for her.
There's a birdie finish round of 71 and a top 10.
Said to her putting coach,
her aim was to win one more time.
But 33 years old, it's getting closer.
Yeah, I mean to win 10 years apart.
I mean, that hasn't been done on the LPGA tour.
For 30 years since Vicky Fergan back in 1996.
It is a bogey, but three ahead, two to play.
That could be down to two.
But not to be for Ailin Kim.
Another past champion, Lauren Coghlin,
tapping in on her final hole.
Moves herself into a tie for fifth.
Boatee shot, wasn't it?
Driver straight over the corner.
Missed all the bunkers and that divot.
Luckily, she's just in front of that divot.
So we'll play this one short of the green.
Have it run up.
Well judged, especially in the circumstances
when you can't feel your hands.
Yeah, and up ahead, her closest pursuer
couldn't go for the green in two.
They've pushed the tee up here,
but she had to lay up after hitting the tee shot
into the right raft.
So I feel like she's got to hold this, Ailin Kim.
She's giving it a good go.
You have to say Ailin Kim has given it a good go all day,
has created birdie opportunities
and was just too far back, wasn't she?
Needed some help from Jenny Shin,
which she got early on, but not now.
The back nine from Jenny Shin has been so solid.
Well, they were urging it on.
Not quite enough pace from Pajarian and Irukan.
Still hasn't had a birdie on this back nine.
She laid back off the tee with five iron
and had 160 yards in,
so played this one to the dogleg quite sensibly
up onto 18 with Yamashita.
Yeah, that's an equal putt.
It's for a closing 70.
Talking to a bull in English.
Go, she said.
It got there, but you have to settle for a birdie,
which will leave her tied for fifth
with Lauren Coughlin.
Next week, she's going to try and become the first player
to defend her AIG Women's Open title since G.A. Shin
and she goes in good form.
And Royal Lytham St. Anne's is set up for her.
You need to be straight and accurate.
Well, this to take a four shot lead down 18.
Left edge, firm.
It's a three ahead, it is.
Wind now affecting putts.
We're in Scotland, aren't we?
Well, not enough dropping for Esther Henselight,
but a really good week.
It's going to be a big step for her
to being on the plane in the Netherlands
for Team Europe again at the Solheim Cup.
That's a closing 73.
Solo fourth for a closing birdie for Aelim Kim.
And that's the story really, wasn't it?
Over the last six holes.
All pars on the last six holes.
But as I said, gave herself so many chances.
A good run at it from the former US Open champion.
A round of 68.
Second place, it seems.
There was a bit of tension for Jenny Shin, though,
after her tee shot, which was half in a gorse bush.
But she's managed, Sophie, to advance it to here in two.
There will be no advancing to the green, though.
206 yards over a burn with a three shot lead.
Wedged it up there.
You've earned this right, Jenny.
Yeah, you've got a three shot lead.
You know, use it.
You do not want to mess with that burn.
97 left for Anana Rukan.
This pin back left.
Wind from left to right.
Safely on board.
With all eyes on what is surely the champion elector.
368th LPGA Tour start.
87 yards left for Shin.
OK, well, she can still take three from there and lift the trophy.
Not that she'll want to, given the way she's patted this week.
Unlikely she will.
Job done.
Found the dance floor.
Good crowds this week.
And she will be a popular winner, Jenny Shin.
And this to grab the win here and now.
Well, it's not to be this time that she's going to have
a couple of minutes to sit and wait and take it all in.
Yeah, what a wonderful story.
All those doubts over the years.
There were times where she couldn't even take the club away.
Wondered how she was going to get through all that.
But she has now on the brink.
Two different back nines really.
Anana Rukan had it going on the front nine,
but has shot two over par this back nine.
A round of 74 for the two times LPGA winner from Thailand.
Yeah, second top ten of the season.
Here we go.
It's been worth the wait, hasn't it?
And then some.
After a decade waiting,
Jenny Shin is a winner on the LPGA Tour again.
The emotion starts to pour out now.
It's been a long journey for Jenny Shin.
Grit and determination on the back nine
and some shot making on those first three days.
Congratulations, Jenny.
Well deserved.
Great scenes.
A two shot victory in the end for Jenny Shin
and a winning total of nine under par.
The only Maguire with a timely performance,
given it's not long until the European Solheim Cup team is decided.
Third last year.
It's 11th this time for Julia Lopez Ramirez
and the round of the day, a 67 from Hyejin Choi.
But it's a week that belonged to a 33 year old Korean.
Jenny Shin had waited 3,738 days to lift another trophy.
All those hours on the range and the putting green paying off.
Yeah, my first win didn't really feel like a win at the time.
I didn't 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.
The top five on the NET Order of Merit.
Amongst those that missed the cut, a very solid week from Diksha Dagar.
A top 20 here moves her up to sixth spot.
Nelly Korda leading the way in the LPGA's race to CME Globe,
thanks to four victories.
This year in the top 10, we have five multiple winners.
With her win, Jenny Shin moves from 66th to 23rd.
No change in the LET Rookie of the Year race
with Anna Morgan leading the way
ahead of Belgium champion Karolina Csikara.
The LPGA's Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year
is looking rather rosy for Erika Hara.
Not the final day she was after at Dundonald,
but a tie for eighth increases her lead at the top.
Seven of the world's top 10 here this week,
and they all made the cut.
Nelly Korda on top, along with Hei Ran Yu,
who's jumped to third, dominating the majors.
Those two so far this year.
Jenny Shin finally back in the winner's circle at the home of golf.
Next up, it's the AIG Women's Open.
