TROON, Scotland (AP) --- South Korea's Jenny Shin led the Women's Scottish Open
by five strokes after two rounds at Dundonald Links on Friday.
Shin started the second round with a bogey and shrugged it off with six
birdies, including on her final hole, for a 5-under 67. She's at 11 under
overall.
"Tried really hard not to make any three-putts," Shin said.
Shin was co-leader with American Lauren Coughlin on 6 under after day one of
the tournament co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and LPGA Tour. But
Coughlin, who won the Aramco Championship in April and the Scottish Open in
2024, hit 2 over on Friday and dropped to 4 under and a tie for fourth with
Japan's Erika Hara.
The closest to Shin was German golfer Esther Henseleit, who carded 4-under 68
with two birdies and an eagle.
South Korea's A Lim Kim remained at 5 under and in third place after an even
par round with two birdies and two bogeys.
Asked about her earmuffs, Kim said, "They keep my ears warm and my confidence
is higher."
World No. 1 Nelly Korda was at 4 over, two above the cut line, after finishing
her round of 76 with four straight bogeys.
Defending champion Lottie Woad was in a tie for 11th at par after a 2-under 70.
