South Korea’s Bo Bae Song birdied the final hole for a 7-under 65 and a one-stroke lead in the Mizuno Classic.
 
Song had six birdies in a front-nine 30, then had two birdies and bogey on the final nine holes Saturday to reach 11 under at Kintetsu Kashikojima.
 
Japan’s Akane Iijima (64) and South Korea’s In-Kyung Kim (65) were shared second place, while Rui Kitada of Japan shot a 66 to sit 9 under in the event sanctioned by the LPGA Tour and Japan LPGA.
 
Defending champion Jiyai Shin (67) was 8 under in a group that included Japanese star Ai Miyazato (67), 2007 winner Momoko Ueda (68) and first-round leader Brittany Lang of the United States—the lone non-Asian player in the top 12—shot a 70. Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa (69) was 4 under.
