Minjee Lee of Australia leads the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open, posting a 5-under 67 despite strong winds and rare sunshine breaks in a typically wet Scottish summer.

Lydia Ko, fresh off her Olympic medal and entry into the LPGA Hall of Fame, managed a round of 69 in adverse weather conditions. A Lim Kim and Megan Khang followed closely with 68s, while Lily May Humphreys of England had six holes remaining at 4-under due to weather delays.

Lee's bogey-free round on a difficult course placed her in the lead. She highlighted smart golfing strategies and noted the advantage of avoiding major rain during her play. The tournament serves as the final stop before the Women's British Open at St. Andrews.
