Amy Olson Takes Evian Lead in Bid for Her First Major Title

ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Chasing a first major title for herself, and a first for American women this season, Amy Olson fired a bogey-free 65 at the Evian Championship on Saturday to take a two-shot lead heading into the final round.

Olson, who had twice been in a four-way share of the lead at the sun-soaked Evian Resort Golf Club, broke clear to post a total of 14-under 199.

An eagle at the par-5 ninth first took her clear, and she added three birdies on the back nine to stretch her lead over Sei Young Kim.

Olson said she felt jitters — but enjoyed them.
