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."
