South Korea’s Kim In-kyung held off the challenge of England’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff to claim the women’s British Open at Kingsbarns, Scotland for her first major title on Sunday.
Kim went into the final day with a six-shot lead and hit her first tee shot to within inches of the hole for a birdie.
But the 29-year-old only just clung on to win by two shots on 18 under par after Shadoff hit a 64, including five successive birdies, to finish on 16 under.
Kim, who also birdied the eighth but had a bogey on the ninth, parred the last nine holes for a final-round 71.
