20-year-old Cathy Porter (Australia), who was the lead in the third round, was unable to overcome the wind in the final round and swayed with a 7-over par. She was an up-and-comer in 2013 when she won the Australian Women’s Open, but couldn’t cope with the pressure to stick with her stellar players. Porter expressed her admiration for Ji-ae Shin, saying that she had learned from Ji-ae Shin’s skillful play.
Porter said, “Jiae Shin is incredibly in control of herself. I was there to learn. I learned so much today. I am grateful for the experience. We all learned how to deal with difficult situations from Jiae Shin. That was really impressive.” I was lucky to be able to see it up close.”
Ji-ae Shin knew that Porter was nervous during the competition. Recognizing the familiar emotions he had experienced in the past, he said, “I had the same feelings, but sometimes new players play more impressively. I was also blown away by Porter’s performance. I hope he learns something from the experience today.”
