So-yeon Ryu (32) surged with a 6-under par on the third day of the 2022 LPGA Tour's fourth major, the Evian Championship (total prize money $6.5 million), held on the 24th (Korean time) at the Evian Golf Club (par 71, 6,527 yards) in Evian-les-Bains, France, rising to second place (15-under par 198 strokes). Brooke Henderson (Canada) leads by 2 strokes (17-under par 196 strokes), and Sophia Schubert (USA) is in third place (13-under par 200 strokes), engaging in a late chase.
Starting from a tie for third, So-yeon Ryu recorded eight birdies and two bogeys. Above all, her pinpoint iron shots, missing the green only twice, stood out. This is a great opportunity for her to claim her seventh career victory after a long 4 years and 2 months since the 2018 Meijer Classic. Moreover, this time it is a major win. She said, "The effect of resting and recharging energy over the past three weeks has appeared," and added, "Although I am somewhat nervous competing for the win after a long time, I will do my best," showing her fighting spirit.
