ROGERS - Top-ranked Jiyai Shin will defend her championship at September's P&G NW Arkansas Championship on the LPGA Tour.
The tournament announced Tuesday that Shin would be entered in the field Sept. 10-12 at Pinnacle Country Club. Shin, of South Korea, won the Evian Masters last weekend to reclaim the top spot in the world ranking.
Shin took the 2009 championship at Pinnacle in a playoff.
