Jiyai Shin
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Jiyai Shin, the top-ranked player in the Rolex World Rankings, withdrew Wednesday from the LPGA State Farm Classic to undergo emergency surgery for an appendicitis.
Her current condition is unknown.
“I was very much looking forward to playing this event, and will be looking forward to being back here next season,” said Shin, who took over the No. 1 ranking when Lorena Ochoa retired earlier this year. “I wish the best to everyone playing and watching this weekend.”
Shin has held the top spot in the rankings for six weeks.
Ai Miyazato, Michelle Wie, Cristie Kerr, Karrie Webb and Se Ri Pak are in the field.
