Jin’s father, who caddied for her all week, kept her calm, going through the next few holes to maintain her lead in the match.

“He was telling me to stay calm and that the Lord is with us, which helped me stay calm a bit, especially with match play where whatever happens, happens,” shared Jin.

Jin eventually went 2-up on No.6, where she looked dialed in on all aspects of her game. The following hole, though, Jin sent her tee shot to the right penalty area of No. 7, par 3, and ended up losing the hole.

After giving up her two-hole lead on hole 6, Jin would win No.9 with a great putt over the ridge on the green to go 2 UP, heading into the more difficult part of the course due to the strong south wind.

She would maintain that 2-up lead on the match until another Par 3 played a factor. On No.12, McMyler would stick her shot to four feet above the hole. Jin, who sat below the hole would miss long and conceded the hole to McMyler.

McMyler would use that as motivation going on to win No. 15 after sticking her approach to three feet on the deep hole location and even the match heading into the final few holes on the course.

No. 17 would eventually be the hole to decide the match. After both players hit the middle of the fairway, Jin and McMyler would both go for the green and land short right of the green.

With both players facing tough chip shots into the sloped green, it was Jin who would eventually knock in her birdie putt to go 1-up heading into No.18 where both players would par and Jin would become the official champion of the 103rd Women’s Texas Amateur.

With the win, Jin will be exempt into the 124th U.S. Women’s Amateur, with the 103rd Women’s Texas Amateur being an official USGA exemption event.

“It’s an honor to be in any USGA championship,” mentioned Jin. “You get to play with the best players in the world and it’s such a prestige course so I’m excited.”
