Untitled Document Shin secures spot in ADT Championship field

South Korea's Ji-Yai Shin secured the 18th spot in the season-ending ADT Championship by winning the final major of the LPGA season - the RICOH Women's British Open. Shin finished three shots ahead of the field after carding a final round 6-under-par 66. Shin will join the 17 other LPGA players who qualified for the ADT Championship by either finishing in the top-11 spots on the ADT Points list during the first half of the LPGA Playoffs 2008 or by winning one of the 13 Winner Events this season. The final Winner Event of the LPGA season will be in two weeks, August 14-17, at the CN Canadian Women's Open.

The 2008 ADT Championship features a $1,550,000 purse with the winner taking home a $1 million paycheck, the largest first-place prize in the history of women's golf. The ADT Championship will also feature three days of playoffs with a cut after 36 holes. Players start with a fresh scorecard for the third round, which ends with another cut to the top eight players. A live draw will take place with the final eight players immediately following the third round, where players will draft their own tee time based on their third-round finish. A final-day shoot-out with the remaining players will have them, again, starting with a fresh scorecard for their chance at the $1 million winner's check.
