Shin One Round From First LPGA Win in 10+ Years at Women’s Scottish Open
Shin shot a 1-under 71 and stayed five clear as she seeks her first LPGA Tour victory in more than 10 years.
South Korean golfer Jenny Shin maintained her five-shot lead at the Women's Scottish Open after round three on Saturday, standing at 12 under par at Dundonald Links.
Shin carded a 1-under 71 with two birdies and a bogey, while Thailand's Pajaree Anannarukarn fired a bogey-free 69 to climb from fourth into second place.
Japan's Erika Hara and Germany's Esther Henseleit trailed at 5 under, two shots behind Anannarukarn, while A Lim Kim sat alone in fifth at 3 under after a 2-over 74.
Shin is chasing her first LPGA Tour victory since the Texas Shootout more than 10 years ago, with her five-shot cushion providing significant advantage heading into the final round.
Anannarukarn's five-shot deficit positions Shin as the clear favorite entering Sunday's final 18 holes, where the South Korean golfer seeks to end her LPGA Tour title drought.
