Highlights from the third round of the 2022 Evian Championship

Brooke Henderson saw her lead at the Evian Championship reduced to two shots after the third round of the Amundi Evian Championship.

​​​Henderson recovered well from a bogey on the first hole, but missed a three-foot putt for birdie on the par-five 18th and had to settle for a three-under round of 68 that leaves her 17-under for the tournament - two shots off the 54-hole record.

Charley Hull nails the eagle from distance at the 11th hole at the Evian Championship.

Former world No 1, South Korea's So-Yeon Ryu shot 65 after three birdies on her last four holes and sits alone in second place on 15-under heading into Sunday's final round.

American Sophia Schubert shot 66 and is two further back in third place, while England's Charley Hull is in a pack tied for fifth on 11-under after shooting 67 on Saturday which included a holing a lengthy approach shot for eagle on the par-four 11th.

Henderson said after her third-round 68: "It wasn't as good as the first two days but, yeah, really hung in there. Made some clutch par saves on back nine, which felt nice.

"Not as many birdies on the card. Felt like the course is playing a little bit tougher for me today. Hopefully go out tomorrow and continue to ball strike pretty well and hopefully make some putts."

Ryu, a two-time major winner, matched her best career round at the tournament, carding eight birdies and two bogeys in her 65.

"I'm a little bit nervous," she admitted after the round. "But all I can do is focus on what I can do.

"I'm just going to do some light putting work today and then hopefully I can play well tomorrow as well."
