South Korea’s Kim Hyo Joo produced the shot and the round of the day to lead the Women’s British Open by a shot from Lydia Ko and Cristie Kerr at sunbathed Turnberry on Thursday.

Kim took advantage of the favourable weather to post a seven under par 65 and raise her hopes of adding a second major to her victory in the Evian Championship in France last September.
