PHOENIX – Jenny Shin can find some inspiration on the leaderboard at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup.
Celine Boutier overcame “mild panic attacks” while over the ball in college, an affliction that nearly derailed her career as one of the game’s top amateurs, but she won the ISPS Handa Vic Open last month and is atop the leaderboard with an 8-under-par 64 in the first round of the Founders Cup.
Shin is in the hunt, too, after shooting 66, despite being amid the hard work of trying to free herself from a frustrating habit that latched on to her last fall.
