The 2008 champion Ji Yi Shin of South Korea (pictured with Paul in 2009) hit a superb 8 under par in today's second round to finish 9 under par after 36 holes of this 72 hole competition.
The overnight leader has a 5 shot lead over second placeed fellow Korean Inbee Park, who is on -4 and then come Mika Miyazato from Japan and Karrie Webb from Australia who are both -3.
The leading British player in the tournament at this stage is young amateur Holly Clyburn from Cleethorpes who is making her first appearance in the Womens British Open. She is level in 17th place on 1 over par along with big names such as Michelle Wie, Cristy Kerr and Paula Creamer.
Because a day's play was lost on Friday, rounds 3 and 4 will both be played tomorrow (Sunday). To make it possible to fit two rounds in one day, the cut has been shortened to reduce the number of competitors, there will be a two tee start and matches are being played in threes instead of twos.
