Another pristine day is on tap at the LPGA’s most picturesque stop. The third round of the Amundi Evian Championship features a board peppered with players who’ve already hoisted trophies this season, including leader Somi Lee, Jennifer Kupcho, Rio Takeda and Jeeno Thitikul.
No player on tour has won more than once this season, with 18 different winners in 17 events. Lee won the recent Dow Championship team event with fellow first-time winner Jin Hee Im to make it a record-breaking first half of the season.
Will the trend end in France?

Those who missed the cut received $3,000 to help cover expenses.
World No. 4 Ruoning Yin and three-time major winner In Gee Chun were among those who missed the cut by a stroke along with 2025 first-time winner Yealimi Noh.
Former No. 1 Lilia Vu’s downward slide continued in France where she shot 73-75 to miss her fifth consecutive cut.
