ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open: Jenny Shin stutters to win as players, including Lottie Woad and Nelly Korda, prepare for AIG Women's Open

Jenny Shin stuttered over the line at the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open to secure her first LPGA Tour title in a decade with England's defending champion Lottie Woad finishing tied-37th as players prepared for next week's AIG Women's Open.

South Korean golfer Shin ended two strokes clear of compatriot A-Lim Kim on nine under par after bogeying two of her final three holes on Sunday to sign for a three-over 75, having begun round four with a five-shot advantage over Thailand's Pajaree Anannarukarn.

The 33-year-old suffered three bogeys in a row from the sixth but her birdies at 10 and 12 proved crucial following her sluggish end to the round as Kim's four-under 68 came in vain at Dundonald Links.

Shin was emotional as she clinched her first trophy since the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout in May 2016 - she is the first woman in 30 years to go a full decade between LPGA Tour wins - and can now switch focus to the major at Royal Lytham and St Annes.

She said: "My first title 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, feels like I earned it. I worked hard for it."
