The 22-year-old Park matched the record low round in the
history of the tournament to move clear of Gerina Piller and
Charley Hull, who are tied for second spot on six-under.
Park, who boasts the Korea Women's Open among her three
victories this season, was grouped with big-hitting major
winners Lexi Thompson and Michelle Wie but easily outshone her
playing partners in Incheon.
"I was playing with very long hitters today, Michelle and Lexi,
and they are taller and bigger than I am and they are much more
powerful than I am," she told reporters after her bogey-free
round.
"But I noticed that maybe my swing speed is a bit faster than
them and that might contribute to me being able to hit the ball
as far as I do."
World number one Park In-bee and second-ranked Lydia Ko both
shot 69s to lie tied for the 16th spot.
