Jenny Shin overcomes severe wobble to win Women's Scottish Open

South Korea's Jenny Shin overcame a severe wobble in the final round of the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open to claim her first title on the LPGA Tour in more than a decade.

The 33-year-old entered the fourth round at Dundonald Links with a five-shot lead. 

She struggled badly on the front nine, making a hat-trick of bogeys from the 6th to give the chasing pack hope. 

But birdies at the 10th and 12th saw her re-establish a comfortable lead and settle any nerves down the stretch. 

Despite closing with a bogey, a 3-over 75 was enough to get her to a 72-hole total of 9-under and finish two clear of her compatriot A Lim Kim. 

Shin was reduced to tears after the final putt dropped and doused with water and champagne by a group of her pals who waited by the 18th green. 

"My first one didn't really feel like a win at the time," said Shin of her first win on the LPGA Tour in 2016 at the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout. 

"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."

Elsewhere, Former AIG Women's Open champion Mayu Yamashita and Ireland's Leona Maguire were among those to finish in the top 10.

England's Charley Hull, who made an ugly quadruple-bogey in the opening round, battled back to make the cut but finished in a share of 44th. 

World number one Nelly Korda, who has won two of the four majors this year, shared 16th on 2-over.

The final major of the year, the AIG Women's Open, starts next Thursday at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

"We experienced everything this week - sunshine, a little bit of warmth, and sideways rain, gusty winds, but that's a given out here," said Korda.

"So [I am] just trying to get into the mindset for next week. There's so many things that are going on during your shot that you really have to stay committed."
