Gainer, Ruffels Lead Heading Into Evian Final Round

England's Cara Gainer and Australia's Gabriela Ruffels share a one-shot lead at 11-under after the third round of the Evian Championship at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France. Gainer, ranked 129th and making her tournament debut, shot a 7-under 64, while Ruffels, ranked 71st and a 2019 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion, posted a 66. They are closely followed by Minjee Lee (World No. 6), Jeeno Thitikul (No. 2), Somi Lee, and Grace Kim, all at 10-under. Gainer cited confidence from a prior strong performance at this course in May, and both leaders credit their tennis backgrounds for their competitive edge. The final round is set for a tight finish with several top contenders in striking distance. Ruffels and Gainer are both seeking their first major LPGA titles.
