Shin Ji-ae "Hunting 2 Wins in Japan"... Jeon Mi-jung 3rd Place

Toto Japan Classic Final Day 6-Under Par Storm Shots '3-Stroke Victory', Yuka Saso 2nd Place

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] It is Shin Ji-ae's (32) 'hunt for her second victory.'

On the 8th, at the Daiheiyo Golf Club (par 72, 6,554 yards) in Omitama City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, Shin Ji-ae finished the final day of the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour Toto Japan Classic (total prize money 160 million yen) with a 6-under-par round, achieving a commanding 3-stroke victory (19-under-par 197). This marks her second win of the season following the Fujitsu Ladies on the 18th of last month, her 26th career victory, and a winner's prize of 24 million yen (260 million won). Yuka Saso (Philippines) shot 9-under-par but had to settle for second place (16-under-par 200).

Shin Ji-ae recorded one eagle and four birdies. She started strong with a birdie on the 1st hole (par 4), added birdies on the 7th (par 4) and 15th holes (par 4). The eagle on the 17th hole (par 5) was the highlight. Taking the lead by two strokes, she secured the victory and celebrated with a birdie on the final 18th hole (par 4). It is remarkable that she joined the JLPGA Tour only last month amid the COVID-19 pandemic and has already claimed two wins in just five events. From Korea, Jeon Mi-jeong (38) finished tied for third place (14-under-par 202).
