Shin Ji-eun Holds Five-Shot Lead, Eyes First Win in 10 Years

Shin Ji-eun has moved a step closer to her second career victory—and her first in 10 years—after expanding her lead to five shots in the third round of the LPGA Scottish Open.

Holding the top spot since the first round, Shin remained unshaken despite strong winds.

After sinking her first birdie on the par-3 6th hole, she missed a short par putt of under a meter on the 10th hole to drop a shot, but quickly bounced back.

On the par-3 11th hole, she landed her tee shot within three meters of the pin and smoothly rolled in an uphill-to-downhill breaking putt for a birdie.

Shooting a 1-under par in the third round, Shin reached 12-under overall, stretching her lead over the second-place competitor to five strokes.

The final round is currently underway, and if Shin claims the championship, it will mark her second career victory, coming 10 years after her first win in 2016.
