Haeran Ryu made history at the Evian Championship by shooting an 11-under 60 in the third round, the lowest score ever recorded in a women's major championship. Ryu, who had previously won her first major title at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, birdied her first five holes and made an eagle on the par-4 sixth. Without realizing the significance of her score until after her round, Ryu now holds a three-stroke lead over Aki Iwai heading into the final day. Ryu's outstanding performance places her in contention for back-to-back major titles this week.
