Australian Stephanie Kyriacou shot a 4-under 67 to take the third-round lead at the Evian Championship in Saturday at Evian-les-Bains, France.
Kyriacou was one of the players forced to finish the weather-delayed second round on Saturday morning, which she concluded with a 66.
Heading into Sunday’s final round at the Evian Resort Club, she stands at 14-under 199 and carries a one-shot lead over Lauren Coughlin (65 on Saturday) and second-round leader Ayake Furue of Japan (70).
Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarkarn (67) is alone in fourth place at 10-under, while three others are five shots back at 9-under. The group consists of Ally Ewing, who shot a course-low 64 on Saturday, and South Korea’s Hye-Jin Choi (71) and Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand, whose 72 on Saturday dropped her from second place to the fifth-place tie.
Kyriacou opened her round with a bogey, followed by birdies at Nos. 2 through 4. She added four birdies and two bogeys to the round.
Ewing, from Mississippi, played a bogey-free third round that included four birdies in the first five holes.
