CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) -- Jenny Shin took the lead Friday in the LPGA Tour's Kia Classic, a stroke ahead of top-ranked Lydia Ko and Brittany Lang.
Shin birdied five of her first eight holes and had a 7-under 65 to reach 10-under 134 at Aviara in the final event before the major ANA Inspiration next week in Rancho Mirage.
''It was a really good round,'' Shin said. ''I hit great shots. I hit great putts. I had a lot of 6-footers for birdie, so it was a good day. ... I think I did a good job placing my ball in the right position and getting the right clubs.
