South Korea’s Jenny Shin leads the Women’s Scottish Open by five shots after two rounds at Dundonald Links. Multiple outlets report that Shin is 5-under overall for the tournament, building the advantage after Friday’s second round. She begins the day’s play with a bogey, but responds with six birdies, including on her final hole, to post a 5-under 67 in the second round.
Earlier in the event, Shin had been tied for top spot after day one at 6 under, when she was co-leading alongside American Lauren Coughlin. On Friday, other contenders struggle to score consistently in the windy conditions at the venue, according to Sky Sports. Lottie Woad, Charley Hull and Nelly Korda are among those described as having difficulty during the rounds.
The tournament is co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA Tour. Shin’s performance creates a clear margin heading into the next stages of the championship.
