HOYLAKE, England, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Jiyai Shin of South Korea blew through the back nine at Hoylake with an eagle and four birdies Saturday to take a five-stroke lead at the Women's British Open.

Shin eagled the 10th hole and then birdied the next three in a row on the way to an 8-under 64 and a 9-under 135 for the tournament, five shots ahead of fellow Korean Inbee Park.

Park had the second-best round of the day. She birdied 17 and then scored an eagle on the par-5 18th to notch a 68.

Australian Carrie Webb and Miya Miyazato were six back after both battled to a 70 for the day.

The second round of the tournament was played Saturday after Friday's round was scrubbed due to high winds at Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
