South Korean veteran Shin Ji-yai fired eight birdies in a scintillating eight-under-par 63 on Saturday to grab a share of the third-round lead in the LPGA Seri Pak Championship alongside Alison Lee.
A round featuring five straight birdies from the third through the seventh holes propelled Shin to a nine-under-par total of 204, where she was joined by Lee after the American signed for a three-under-par 68 at Palos Verdes Golf Club in Los Angeles.
