Pajaree Anannarukarn carded a 2-over 74 in the final round of the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open, finishing solo third at 5-under 283 as Jenny Shin closed out the title at Dundonald Links, a par-72 layout on Scotland's Ayrshire coast.

The 27-year-old from Thailand began the day in solo second at 7-under 209 but couldn't sustain the form that carried her through the first three rounds. She opened with a bogey on the par-4 first hole and a double bogey on the par-4 second hole, dropping to 4-under early on.

Anannarukarn answered with a birdie on the par-5 third hole to move back to 5-under, then added another on the par-5 fifth hole to reach 6-under. She birdied the par-4 seventh hole to climb to 7-under before a bogey on the eighth pulled her back to 6-under. A birdie on the par-4 ninth hole sent her out in 36 and returned her to 7-under at the turn.

The back nine proved tougher to navigate. Bogeys on the par-4 10th and par-4 12th dropped Anannarukarn to 5-under, and she played the final six holes in even par to sign for a 38 on the back nine and a 74 overall.

The finish still capped a strong week for Anannarukarn, a two-time LPGA Tour winner who claimed the 2023 Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play presented by MGM Rewards and the 2021 ISPS Handa World Invitational presented by Modest! Golf Management — a tournament with ties to this week's title sponsor.

The result adds to a productive season for the 2018 Epson Tour alumnae, who has made 11 cuts in 14 starts in 2026 and posted a tie for eighth at the U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally, her first top-10 finish of the year. Anannarukarn ranks 12th on the LPGA Tour in strokes gained approach at 0.77 this season, a number reflected in the ball-striking that kept her near the top of the leaderboard all week at Dundonald Links.

Shin's victory capped her week at Dundonald Links, while Anannarukarn's solo third continued a stretch of steady play that has kept her among the LPGA Tour's more consistent performers in 2026. With no LPGA Tour victories yet this season, the top-three finish stands as one of her stronger results of the year and a reminder of the form that has produced two career titles, heading into the final major of the year next week.
