Jenny Shin won the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links on Sunday, surviving a ragged final round to claim her second LPGA Tour title — her first in more than a decade.

Shin shot a closing 75, three over par, to finish the tournament at nine under. That was good enough for a two-shot win over South Korea's A-Lim Kim, who charged through the field with a final-round 68 to finish at seven under (BBC Sport).

The win came in Shin's 368th career start. Her only previous LPGA victory was the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout in 2016 — a gap of more than ten years between trophies for the 33-year-old.

For three rounds, Shin made the Ayrshire coast look straightforward. She opened with a 66 on Thursday, sharing the lead with American Lauren Coughlin, then followed with a 67 to reach 11 under at the halfway mark (LPGA). A third-round 71 pushed her to 12 under and gave her a five-shot cushion going into Sunday (Golf Today).

A five-shot lead sounds comfortable. In a links wind, it isn't. Links golf — played on coastal courses where the ground is firm and the breeze does what it likes — punishes the slightest miss. A five-shot margin can evaporate in three holes when the wind changes direction and the pins are tucked behind bunkers.

Sure enough, Shin bogeyed three times on the front nine. The lead shrank. The leaderboard tightened.

Behind her, Kim was making birdies. Thailand's Pajaree Anannarukarn finished third at five under, Germany's Esther Henseleit fourth at four under, and Coughlin tied for fifth with Japan's Miyu Yamashita at three under. Only ten players in the entire field broke par across all four rounds — a measure of how Dundonald fought back all week.

Shin steadied herself on the back nine. No collapse, no miracle recovery, just enough pars to cross the line. The three-over 75 was the highest final-round score by a winner on tour this season, but it did the job.

Nelly Korda, who had won two of the four majors played in 2026 coming into the week, finished tied for 16th at two over after a closing 69. Charley Hull, the leading British hope, never got going and finished at 10 over after a final-round 74.

The Women's Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes — the final major of the year — begins on Thursday, giving the field four days to travel south and reset. Shin, after 368 starts and ten years of waiting, arrives with a trophy in her hands.
