Jenny Shin Wins Again After 10 Years: “I Never Really Believed in Myself” | Scottish Open [gwAAModXfwd]
Jenny Shin ended a ten-year wait for her second career victory with a wire-to-wire triumph at the 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open at Dundonald Links. Her winner’s press conference was remarkably honest. Shin reveals that she was close to tears after watching her ball run off the ninth green, explains why she repeatedly told herself not to “sink the ship” and shares the calming message from caddie Shane that helped her survive the most difficult moments of the final round. She also opens up about the toughest period of her 16-year professional career, losing her sense of purpose, struggling to believe in herself and rediscovering her love for competition after the COVID shutdown. That period included, in her own words, some unusual “drunken lives on Instagram” — but also the realisation that she desperately missed competing professionally. Shin explains why the people around her believed when she could not, recounts the emotional message from her coach before the final round and delivers the perfect summary of life in professional golf: “We’re all lunatics out here, and I’m one of them.” Watch Jenny Shin’s complete press conference after an unforgettable victory in Scotland.
