On the 4th (local time), Shin Ji-ae finished second (11-under 278) after struggling with a 3-over par on the final day at the ISPS Handa Australian Women's Open (total prize money 1.7 million AUD) held at Victoria Golf Club (par 72) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. She aimed for the top spot for the first time in nine years since winning this tournament in 2013 but settled for the runner-up position.
Starting the day one stroke ahead, Shin Ji-ae recorded 2 birdies and 5 bogeys. She faltered with bogeys on holes 1, 4, 5, 7, and 13. Although she made 'stepping stone birdies' on the 15th hole (par 4) and 17th hole (par 5) late in the round, there were not enough holes left to overturn the lead. Shin Ji-ae is a strong player with a total of 61 career wins, including 21 in Korea, 11 in the United States, and 26 in Japan.
