Veteran South Korean golfer Shin Ji-yai finished second in her first U.S. Women’s Open in four years on Sunday.

Shin finished as runner-up in the 78th U.S. Women’s Open held in Pebble Beach, California, after shooting six-under-282, or three strokes behind competition winner Allisen Corpuz of the U.S. to tie for second with Charley Hull of England.

Sunday marked the first time in five years for Shin to finish within the top ten of a competition on the Ladies Professional Golf Association(LPGA) tour. Back in 2018, Shin had placed seventh in the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.

Sunday’s feat was also Shin’s best performance in the U.S. Women’s Open, topping her fifth place finish in 2010.

Shin, who has won a total of 64 competitions both at home and abroad, including two Women’s British Open wins and eleven LGPA Tour victories, has focused her career in the Ladies Professional Golfers' Association of Japan since the 2014 season.
