Jenny Shin Wins 2026 Women’s Scottish Open
South Korean golfer Jenny Shin captured the 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open at Dundonald Links in Troon, Scotland. She posted a total of 279, nine‑under par, to finish two strokes ahead of runner‑up A Lim Kim, who recorded a 281 (‑7). Shin entered the final round with a five‑shot lead, held it despite three consecutive bogeys, and sealed the victory with a 3‑over‑par 75 on the last day. It was her first LPGA Tour win in more than a decade, her previous triumph having come at the 2016 Texas Shootout. The win earned her $300,000 from a $2 million purse.
Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn ended the tournament third‑place on five‑under, while Germany’s Esther Henseleit tied for fourth at four‑under. Indian golfer Diksha Dagar climbed to a tied‑eleventh place with a one‑over‑par total after a steady third‑round 70, keeping her within striking distance of the top‑10.
The tournament, part of the three‑event European swing leading into the Evian Championship and the Women’s British Open, featured challenging winds and intermittent rain, testing the field’s links‑golf skills.
