ST. ANDREWS, Scotland—Two-time champion Jiyai Shin capitalized on a back-nine collapse by top-ranked Nelly Korda to take a one-shot lead after the third round of the Women’s British Open at St. Andrews on Saturday.

Nothing will give the 36-year-old Shin more confidence heading into the final round than how she collected the last of her seven birdies in a 5–under 67 at the home of golf.
