Ji-Yai Shin Gives Herself a 66 for Her 24th Birthday

Ji-Yai Shin is celebrating her 24th birthday today on the JLPGA and she just gave herself a bogey-free 66 for a present.  Imoto, who turned 6 yesterday and is a huge Ji-Yai fan, will be totally psyched.  That sweet weekend I was talking about on her birthday just got even sweeter!  And just wait till I show her the tweet from Mariajo Uribe wishing her a happy birthday.  Wouldn't it be cool for her if Shin and Uribe can pull off the double win?  Not bad for them, either....

[Update 1 (9:44 pm):  Ah, the perils of early posting!  The JLPGA site originally had Shin bogeying her last hole, but they corrected it to a par.  She ended up 2 shots behind Chie Arimura, who shot her 2nd-straight 68, and Ji-Woo Lee, who matched her 66.  Tied with Inbee Park and 2 shots ahead of Yuri Fudoh, Sakura Yokomine, and Sun-Ju Ahn, the golfer-formerly-known-as-"The Final Round Queen" will need to re-earn that title tomorrow to get her 6th career JLPGA victory.]
