ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Cresting a wave of South Koreans atop the Evian Championship leaderboard on Saturday, Hyo Joo Kim fired a third-round 65 to move one shot clear at 15-under 198.
Kim’s latest impressive round of majors golf did not quite match her first — a record 61 here as a teenager five years ago when she took the title in her elite debut.
Top-ranked Sung Hyun Park closed the gap in second by making a birdie on the par-5 18th for a five-under 66 on the hillside course overlooking Lake Geneva.
Four shots back in a tie for third place were the seven-time major winner Inbee Park (69) and the world No.
