Shin Ji-ae (35) showed off her skills by winning runner-up at the US Women’s Open (total prize money of 11 million dollars), which was held in four years.
In the final round of the US Women’s Open held at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72) in Monterey, California on the 10th (Korean time), Shin Ji-ae cut 4 strokes by making 5 birdies and 1 bogey.
Shin Ji-ae, who recorded a final total of 6 under par 282, finished the tournament as a joint runner-up with Charlie Hull (England). She is runner-up by three strokes from Allison Corpers (USA), who won the championship.
Shin Ji-ae, who underwent elbow surgery last year, is improving significantly this year. After reaching the top at the Daikin Orchid Ladies Golf Tournament, the opening match of the JLPGA Tour, she also added a win at the Earthmondamine Cup, which had the highest prize money of the season.
Although there are many talented young players in Japan, Shin Ji-ae is competing with them with a seasoned play worthy of a veteran. She played for the first time in four years, and she also showed her true value at the US Women’s Open.
Shin Ji-ae, who caught the first birdie of the day on the 6th hole (par 5) in the first half, also added a birdie on the 8th hole (par 4). She committed her bogey on the 10th hole (par 4), but she also managed to bounce back with a birdie on the 11th hole (par 4). After further thinning out her birdie on the 14th hole (par 5), he added a birdie on the last hole 18 (par 5) and finished as runner-up.
Kim Hyo-joo (28), who was aiming for a come-from-behind victory, lost two strokes and tied for 6th place with a final total of 2 under par 286 strokes. Yoo Hae-ran (22) finished with an even par and finished in 8th place alone.
Domestic player Park Min-ji (25) reduced one more stroke that day and tied for 13th place with a final total of 4 over par. Kim Se-young (30) also finished in a tie for 13th, and Choi Hye-jin (24) tied for 20th with a 5-over-par 293 strokes.
The championship was won by Corpus in the second year. Her first win since her professional debut came at the US Women’s Open. Corpers has played in 12 events this year, finishing in the top 10 twice and missing the cut twice. He tied for 4th at the Chevron Championship in April and tied for 15th at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June, showing strength in major tournaments.
