Evian Championship 2015: Saturday Leaderboard Scores and LPGA Highlights
Mi Hyang Lee is a round away from winning her first major championship.
After three rounds of play at the Evian Championship, Lee remained atop the leaderboard, holding on to a slim one-stroke lead over Lexi Thompson.
Thompson was excellent on the day, shooting a five-under 66 to put herself in position to steal the title from Lee, who shot a solid 70 on the afternoon and moved to 10 under for the tournament.
The story down the stretch was Morgan Pressel, however, who was tied with Lee atop the leaderboard heading into the 18th hole before shooting a shocking double bogey that put her two strokes off the lead and tied her with Lydia Ko in third place.
Here's the leaderboard:
| 1 | Lee, Mi Hyang | -10 | 66 | 67 | 70 |
| 2 | Thompson, Lexi | -9 | 66 | 72 | 66 |
| T3 | Ko, Lydia | -8 | 69 | 69 | 67 |
| T3 | Pressel, Morgan | -8 | 69 | 65 | 71 |
| T5 | Feng, Shanshan | -7 | 68 | 68 | 70 |
| T5 | Larsen, Nicole Broch | -7 | 68 | 67 | 71 |
| T5 | Yang, Amy | -7 | 72 | 66 | 68 |
| T8 | Ji, Eun Hee | -6 | 67 | 73 | 67 |
| T8 | Lee, Il Hee | -6 | 71 | 67 | 69 |
| T10 | Lee, Minjee | -5 | 68 | 72 | 68 |
| T10 | Pace, Lee-Anne | -5 | 71 | 72 | 65 |
The story Sunday will be all about Lee, though, as she tries to steel her nerves and finally break through at the majors. She admitted Friday that managing nerves was going to be quite important.
"I want to play, just I want to concentrate for one shot, so I don't want to think the score, because a little nervous for me," Lee told reporters, per Matthew Knight of CNN. "So yeah, just I want to try just by one shot."
She wasn't the only Lee to make a splash Saturday, however. Alison Lee had her struggles on the day, shooting a 72, but she pushed home this nice birdie on No. 16, per the Evian Championship on Twitter:
Karine Icher fared slightly better on the day, shooting a 71, including this nice birdie:
Sunday should be fun, with Lee trying to hold off the dangerous trio of Thompson, Pressel and Ko. She's proved to this point that she has the talent to win her first major, but she'll need to prove she also has the composure to pull off the feat.
Pressel's double bogey on No. 18 is a reminder that it only takes one lapse to lose the lead. Lee will almost assuredly need to play lapse-free golf Sunday if she's to hold off the field.
