Korea's Lee So-mi is one stroke off the lead entering the final round of the third LPGA major of the season.
Lee shot an even-par 71 in the third round of the Amundi Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Saturday, and is at 10-under after 54 holes. Cara Gainer of England and Gabriela Ruffels of Australia are the two co-leaders at 11-under.
Lee is tied with three other players: Minjee Lee and Grace Kim of Australia, and Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand.
Lee was the overnight leader at 10-under but couldn't go any lower in the third round after making three birdies and three bogeys.
The 26-year-old is trying to win her second straight start, after capturing her maiden LPGA title with fellow Korean Im Jin-hee at the Dow Championship, a team competition, on June 29.
Among other Korean players, Jenny Shin and Choi Hye-jin are tied for ninth at eight-under.
