Ryu’s 60 gives her Evian lead from England’s Woad

BBC Sport · 1 month ago

South Korean golfer Haeran Ryu took command of the Evian Championship by recording the lowest score ever shot in a major tournament. Her 11-under-par 60 in the third round elevated her to 19-under par and established a three-stroke advantage over Japan's Akie Iwai, while she sits nine shots clear of the field with one day remaining.

The dominant display displaced England's Lottie Woad, who held the overnight lead but struggled to an over-par 72 to drop into a tie for sixth place. Ryu, fresh from winning the Women's PGA Championship just two weeks prior, now stands on the verge of capturing back-to-back major titles—a prospect she described as an ambitious dream, while acknowledging the quality of her rivals in the final round.

  • Haeran Ryu shot the lowest round in major championship history (60, 11-under par) to seize a three-stroke lead at the Evian Championship
  • Overnight leader Lottie Woad fell out of contention with a one-over 72 and now trails by nine shots with one round remaining
  • Ryu could win her second major title in three weeks if she holds on through the final day
