Shanshan Feng shoots 64 to take LPGA Tour lead in Japan (The Associated Press)

IBARAKI, Japan (AP) -- Shanshan Feng shot an 8-under 64 on Saturday to take the TOTO Japan Classic lead, putting the Chinese star in position to close the Asian swing with consecutive victories.

Feng birdied the final two holes for a one-stroke advantage over Ariya Jutanugarn, the 20-year-old Thai player who leads the LPGA Tour with five victories. Jutanugarn had a 68 on another chilly day at Taiheiyo Club in the tour's first tournament in the Tokyo area since 1991.

''I still missed a few shots, but I think right now my confidence level is really high, so I know how to score,'' Feng said.
