Jiyai Shin is the million-dollar woman
British Women's Open champion Jiyai Shin picked up her fifth title in 11 months with a seven-stroke victory at the Wegmans LPGA at Rochester, New York State today.
The 21-year-old South Korean shot a one-under 71 to finish at 17-under 271.
Kristy McPherson and Yani Tseng each shot a 66, the day’s best score, to surge into a second-place tie at 10 under.
One behind were rookie Stacy Lewis, Mika Miyazato and Haeji Kang.
Shin carried a four-stroke lead into the final round at tricky Locust Hill in suburban Rochester. She never looked in danger of being caught, even when she picked up two straight bogeys near the close as an afternoon downpour produced a flurry of errors.
This latest victory earned her $300,000, hoisting her to the top of the LPGA Tour money list with $1 million.
