On the 7th, Shin Ji-ae finished second (4-over par 292) at the final round of the World Ladies Championship Salonpas Cup, a major tournament on the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour held at Ibaraki Golf Club in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan (par 72, 6,780 yards). She exchanged 4 birdies for 4 bogeys and was unable to lower her score. This marks her second runner-up finish this year, following last month's KKT Vantelin Ladies Open.
