OLSEN SURGES AHEAD IN FRANCE
AMERICAN Amy Olson fired a bogey-free six-under-par 65 to take a two-shot advantage after three rounds at the Evian Championship in France on Saturday.
The 26-year-old American started the day with a share of halfway lead with three others but finished at 14-under overall.
Olson, who secured a tied ninth finish at the ANA Inspiration earlier this year, sank four birdies and a superb eagle at the ninth to steer clear of the chasing pack.
‘I think the biggest thing that I like about major championships is how it forces you to bring your best game,’ she said.
‘You can’t really fake it. You can’t get away with poor shots. So I love that. Obviously the atmosphere is a lot of fun. When you’re playing well, you just feed off it.’
