MILTON KEYNES, England — Ashleigh Buhai of South Africa shot a seven-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead in the first round of the Women’s British Open on Thursday.

Buhai finished just ahead of Hinako Shibuno of Japan and Danielle Kang of the United States, who each had a bogey in rounds of 66.

“In my last few tournaments I’ve had three good rounds and one not so good round, so I’m hoping this is the week I can do four good rounds,” said Buhai, whose best finish this year is a tie for 11th.
