Australia’s Stephanie Kyriacou leads a host of players looking for a first major victory at the Amundi Evian Championship. Patty Tavatanakit is the only player in the top five who has won a major. On a course where big swings are not uncommon, expect Sunday in France to be anything but a runaway.
Three years ago, Minjee Lee came from seven back to win her first major title at the Evian. Three players have shot 61 at Evian since it became a major in 2013, including Hyo Joo Kim (2014, R1), Jeongeun Lee6 (2021, R2) and Leona Maguire (2021, R4).
Could a big name go low early in Evian-Les-Baines and put pressure on players trying to win for the first time?
Kyriacou paces the field at 14 under with American Lauren Coughlin and Ayaka Furue of Japan one shot back. Furue went 46 holes in France without a bogey but struggled with her ball-striking in Round 3.
