Jeongeun Lee6 extended her Evian Championship lead a day after making golfing history to five strokes after a 3-under-par 68 in the third round on Saturday. She's at 18 under overall and the nearest challenger is American Yealimi Noh at 13 under after carding a 4-under 67. The 2015 champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand posted a 68 and was one shot behind the 19-year-old Noh. Lee6 birdied again on 10, eagled 11, bogeyed 17 after swiping an approach way wide from the fairway, and birdied 18. She won at Evian in 2019 but the event was canceled last year amid the coronavirus pandemic.
