Haeran Ryu Fires 60 At Evian Championship
A Historic Round in France
Haeran Ryu dominated the 2026 Amundi Evian Championship on Saturday, posting an 11‑under 60. She surged through four of her final five holes, showcasing pinpoint approach play on Moving Day. The round left her just short of history—a 59 would have set the LPGA’s single‑round low mark.
Ryu entered the event fresh off a major triumph at last month’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, her first top‑level title. Her flawless short‑game touch translated into birdies and an eagle attempt on the 18th that kissed the cup. The performance cemented her status as one of the tour’s rising stars.
Three‑Stroke Lead Over Aki Iwai
Heading into Sunday’s final round, Ryu holds a three‑shot cushion over Aki Iwai, who sits at 16 under. The gap sets up a thrilling finale at the Evian site, with both players poised to chase the low‑round record. Sunday’s play promises to be a clash of precision and pressure.
The Amundi Evian Championship remains a venue that has seen breakthroughs on the PGA Tour. As the field lines up, fans will watch whether Ryu can extend her 60 or if another contender will challenge her lead.
