Overview
- Haeran Ryu carded an 11-under 60 in the third round on Saturday, the lowest single-round score in major championship history, and sits three shots clear at 19 under heading into Sunday’s final round.
- Ryu arrived at Evian fresh off her first major victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA two weeks earlier, making her bid for back-to-back majors and season momentum a central storyline.
- Lottie Woad and Aki Iwai, who led earlier in the week, were overtaken as the leaderboard swung sharply during Round 3, with Woad dropping after a disappointing day and Iwai finishing three back.
- World No. 1 Nelly Korda and defending champion Grace Kim both missed the cut, removing two pre-tournament favorites from contention and changing the major-season picture.
- The lakeside Evian course has produced very low scoring this week and rewards precise ball-striking, which helps explain the volatile leaderboard and shapes what to watch in Sunday’s final round.
