IRVING, Texas -- Jenny Shin won the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour victory, pulling away for a two-stroke victory at Las Colinas.
Making her 135th tour start, Shin closed with a 4-under 67 to finish at 14-under 270. The 23-year-old South Korean player went to high school in Torrance, California, and won the 2006 U.S. Girls' Junior.
"I have nothing on my mind," Shin said. "I have absolutely nothing. I think it will hit me when everything is over and when I get on a plane and get home to my mum."
Third-round leader Gerina Piller, the area resident seeking her first tour victory, birdied the final hole for a 73 to tie for second with South Koreans Amy Yang and Mi Jung Hur. Yang and Hur each shot 71.
Shin birdied three of the first five holes, added another on the par-5 10th. She closed with eight pars -- the last an up-and-down save from right of the green on the par-5 18th.
"I actually didn't know I was in front of everybody, I thought Amy Yang was only one stroke behind so I was really nervous on the last hole," Shin said.
Piller lives in Plano, about 20 miles from Las Colinas. The long-hitting U.S. Solheim Cup hero grew up in Roswell, New Mexico, and played at Texas-El Paso. She has four straight top-six finishes.
Fifth-ranked Brooke Henderson closed with a 71 to tie for 19th at 3 under, ending the 18-year-old Canadian's string of top-10 finishes at eight.
Cheyenne Knight, a 19-year-old University of Alabama freshman from nearby Aledo, had a 72 to tie for 30th at 1 under. Karah Sanford, a 14-year-old high school freshman from San Diego, tied for 51st at 6 over after a 77.
Zurich Classic
AVONDALE, La. -- Jhonattan Vegas birdied two of five holes he was able to play in the rain-delayed third round of the Zurich Classic, giving him a share of the lead with Brian Stuard.
Tournament officials shortened the event to 54 holes for today's finish.
Vegas made birdie putts from beyond 7 feet on the first two holes to reach 13 under, then parred three straight before steady rain, accompanied by intermittent thunder, forced organizers to clear the water-logged TPC Louisiana after little more than two hours of play. Stuard, who has not made a bogey in the tournament, had one birdie in the round. Like Vegas, he'll resume play on the sixth hole.
Top-ranked Jason Day was in a five-way tie for fifth at 10 under through 44 holes.
Rain, which also delayed play Thursday and Saturday, is again forecast for today.
The event is the first to be shortened to 54 holes since the 2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions at Kapalua. The last Monday finish was the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in early February.
China Open
BEIJING -- China's Li Haotong shot an 8-under 64 to win the China Open for his first European Tour title.
The 20-year-old Li finished at 22-under 266 at Topwin for a three-stroke victory. Chile's Felipe Aguilar was second after a 69.
