Coughlin, Shin, Take 1st-Round Lead with 66s at the LPGA’s Scottish Open
Darling enters a $2 million event after making only two cuts in 13 starts and says playing on home soil is a key chance to reset.
- On Thursday, American Lauren Coughlin and South Korea's Jenny Shin fired 6-under-par 66s to share the first-round lead at the $2 million ISPS HANDA Scottish Women's Open at Dundonald Links in Ayrshire, Scotland.
- Hannah Darling seeks a turnaround after a challenging rookie year; the Lothians native has made only two cuts in 13 LET events and sits 164th in the Order of Merit.
- Defending champion Lottie Woad of England finished with a 74, while world No. 1 Nelly Korda posted an even-par 72 in the 144-golfer field facing firm conditions at Dundonald Links.
- "Just to be on home soil playing in the Scottish Open is fantastic," said Darling, who secured a spot via a VisitScotland invitation and views the event as a great opportunity.
- Seven of the top 10 Rolex Women's World Rankings players compete in the co-sanctioned LPGA event; Darling aims to climb the Order of Merit to avoid returning to Qualifying School by year's end.
