Golfer Jenny Shin, aka Shin Ji-eun, has won her second tournament on the U.S. LPGA Tour after a drought of 10 years.
On July 26, she won by scoring a 3-over 75, two birdies and five bogeys in the final round of the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
Finishing at 9-under 279 overall, Shin defeated compatriot Kim A Lim (7-under 281) by two strokes to claim victory.
The win was Shin's second in the LPGA and came 10 years and two months after her first at the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout in May 2016.
Her victory was the sixth of the season for Koreans in the LPGA. Lee Mi Hyang won the Blue Bay LPGA and Kim Hyo Joo the Founders Cup and Ford Championship in March, and Ryu Haeran took the KPMG Women's PGA Championship last month and the Amundi Evian Championship on July 12.
