On Saturday In Gee Chun has the opportunity to make history at the Evian Championship. The tournament-leading Korean entered the 3rd round two strokes ahead and left no opportunity to overtake her rivals, smashing the records of Suzann Pettersen and Mi-hyang Lee, so far holders of the record for lowest score after 54 holes at 203 (-10) in 2013 and 2015.

The 7th ranked player in the world has a cumulative score of 194 (-19) and maintains a four-stroke lead over compatriot Sung Hyun Park. The Shanshan Feng Olympic bronze medal is third at (-13). So Yeon Ryu is in fourth place with (-12).

After dominating the 2015 US Women's Open for her first Tour victory, with a new title on Sunday, Chun would become the second player in LPGA Tour history to have her first two major league wins. The Korean will then join her compatriot Se Ri Pak, who achieved the feat in her rookie season in 1998, when she won the US Women's Open and the McDonald's LPGA Championship.

Lydia Ko, the undisputed world No. 1 and defending champion, struggled to end up at (+4) on a 75 card, her weakest result of the year.
