HOYLAKE, England - Jiyai Shin avoided mistakes in miserable weather conditions Sunday to cruise to a record 9-stroke victory in the Women's British Open that completed an Asian sweep of the four majors.
South Korea's Sun Young Yoo won the Kraft Nabisco, China's Shanshan Feng took the LPGA Championship, and South Korea's Na Yeon Choi won the U.S. Women's Open.
In the 36-hole finish in the wind-delayed tournament, Shin took a 3-shot lead into the final round after shooting a 1-under-par 71 in the morning. During strong wind and heavy showers at Royal Liverpool in the afternoon, she closed with a 73 to finish at 9-under 279.
