 ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A year after her mother died in a car crash, Jiyai Shin picked up the first of 20 victories on the Korean professional circuit while still in high school in 2005.
In August, she won the Women's British Open. And on Sunday, the soft-spoken player from Seoul took her fifth LPGA tournament in 11 months at the Wegmans LPGA — and dedicated her latest win, like all the others, to her mom.
"I have my mother's picture in my course book," the 21-year-old Shin said proudly after picking up a $300,000 prize that vaulted her to the top of the money list above Cristie Kerr, In-Kyung Kim and Lorena Ochoa with $1 million.
