Jiyai Shin of South Korea acknowledges the crowd on the first tee during Day Three of the AIG Women's Open at St Andrews Old Course

Two time AIG Women’s Open champion Jiyai Shin of South Korea signed for a 67 to reach 7-under and take a one-shot lead.

Shin’s 67 was her lowest round in the AIG Women’s Open since a second round 64 in 2012 at Royal Liverpool.

“Well, I try to, well, I played a long time, the golf,” said Shin. “So this is my third. I’ve been here already third time. This is my third time at St Andrews. That’s how much I played it, for so long. I have a lot of experience with links course and with not like this tough wind but pretty much I have a lot of good experience. So that’s why I take all my skill today. Yeah, the wind — really, the wind is nice to me today, and also, I made a bogey — two bogeys today but I think everyone can make one or two bogeys. So this is nothing. I just keep focused forward.”

Seven of the last eight champions have held the lead or a share of the lead going into the final round. The only one who did not was England’s Georgia Hall in 2-18 who was one stroke behind Pornanong Phatlum of Thailand after 54-holes.

American defending champion Lilia Vu lies in second place at 6-under after carding a 71.

“The wheels were falling off in the middle of it. I was getting anxious but my caddie was able to give me words of encouragement that I’m playing well. It’s just a couple bad breaks. I was able to birdie 16, and most importantly par 17, and then finish with a birdie 18 going into tomorrow,” said Vu.

Compatriot and overnight leader Nelly Korda shot a 75 to move down into third place at 5-under followed in fourth place at 4-under by South Korea’s Jenny Shin and New Zealand’s Lydia Ko who shot rounds of 70 and 71 respectively.
