Jiyai Shin Leads Women's Open at St Andrews

Jiyai Shin surged ahead in the Women's British Open at St Andrews after a stellar third round, shooting a five-under-par 67 to take a one-stroke lead at seven under. Defending champion Lilia Vu follows in second place after finishing with a one-under 71, while Nelly Korda, who led after the first two rounds, slipped to third with a disappointing three-over 75. Korda's round included a costly double bogey on the 16th hole after a string of bogeys, but she managed to finish strong with a birdie on 18, leaving her two shots behind Shin. Charley Hull, who was tied for the lead after the first round, fell down the leaderboard with a 75. Shin, a two-time champion at this event, expressed confidence heading into the final round, attributing her success to experience and focus despite challenging wind conditions. The final round promises to be competitive, with several players, including Korda and Vu, capable of challenging for the title.
