Overview
- Shin shot a one-under 71 in round three to stand at 12-under 204 through 54 holes and carry a five-shot lead into the final round on Saturday.
- Firm, fast fairways and strong wind at Dundonald Links produced volatile scoring with only a handful of players under par and a high scoring average early in the event.
- Several high-profile players struggled or withdrew, including Charley Hull’s nine on a hole in round one, world No. 1 Nelly Korda dropping over par, and Minjee Lee withdrawing with illness.
- The cut fell at six over par with 65 players advancing to the weekend, leaving just seven players under par after 54 holes.
- A win would be Shin’s first LPGA victory in about 10 years and could shape her momentum ahead of the AIG Women’s British Open and late Solheim Cup selection conversations.
