HOYLAKE, England >> Jiyai Shin opened a five-stroke lead in the Women’s British Open, shooting an 8-under 64 on Saturday in the wind-delayed second round.

Coming off a playoff victory Monday in the Kingsmill Championship, the 24-year-old South Korean player had a 9-under 135 total at Royal Liverpool.

The nine-time LPGA Tour winner hit all 18 greens in regulation and needed only 28 putts. The 64 is the lowest round in competition at Royal Liverpool, breaking the mark of 65 set by four players in the 2006 British Open.

"A bogey-free day and then bunker-free, too, so that was probably the best round I have ever played in a major," Shin said. "So that is a good thing, today’s golf. I missed just one fairway. And on the back nine, it’s blowing very strong wind, but I just stay focused on my tempo and my timing with my driver and shots."

South Korea’s Inbee Park was second after a 68. She played alongside Shin.

"I had a lot of easy birdies on the back nine, and the front nine was really tough because the wind picked up," Park said. "I’ve been playing the front nine really hard because my ball is a little bit right to left shape and the wind is coming right to left, so I just have to watch the front nine a little bit more the next two days. The back nine, I’ve been playing great and I’ve been having a lot of birdies on the back nine, so feeling really confident with the back nine."

Australia’s Karrie Webb, the tournament winner in 1995, 1997 and 2002, was another stroke back along with Japan’s Mika Miyazato. They shot 70.

"I’m surprised to be six shots behind at 3 under," Webb said. "But I’m happy with the way I played and handled the golf course. I’ll just try to narrow the gap and see how it goes."

Play was called off Friday because of high wind and the round was restarted Saturday. The final two rounds are set for today.

Shin opened on the par-5 10th with a 30-yard chip for eagle and birdied the next three holes. She also birdied the 16th for a 6-under 31 on the back nine. She added two more birdies on the front nine.

"I chipped in from 30 yards for the eagle," said Shin, sidelined for two months this year after having surgery on her left wrist. "After that I felt really good and hit great shots at the next three holes to make birdies."

American Katie Futcher was 2 under after a 71.

Lydia Ko, the 15-year-old amateur who won three weeks ago in the Canadian Women’s Open, was in a group at 1 under.

Michelle Wie was 1 over, following her opening 75 with a 70.

"It’s amazing how different it was today," Wie said. "We were talking out there about how many stroke difference it would have been if we played yesterday. But it was perfect for me today. It was nice."
