EVIAN A SPECIAL PLACE FOR LEE AND MORE FROM FRANCE
FOUR SHARE LEAD AT SEASON’S FINAL MAJOR
Four players have separated themselves from the field at the top of the leaderboard through 36 holes at The Evian Championship. Americans Mo Martin and Amy Olson are at 8-under par alongside the Republic of Korea’s Mi Hyang Lee and Puerto Rico’s Maria Torres – only Lee and Martin have won on the LPGA Tour, and Martin is the only one to previously win a major championship (2014 Ricoh Women’s British Open).

“You don't have a lot to work with,” Martin said of the challenging Evian Resort Golf Club. “You've got to hit your fairways; you've got to hit quality shots in; you've got to make your putts here. Definitely defines a major championship. I was talking to (Jerry Foltz) earlier and he said that there are all style of play up on the leaderboard. I think that's just a testament to the golf course and how it's set up.”
First round co-leader Carlota Ciganda of Spain finished one-shot off the lead at 7-under par through Friday. Behind Ciganda is a group of seven players at 6-under par.
Third round starting times begin on Saturday at 10:10 a.m. local time, with groups of three going off of split tees. The final group tees off the first hole at 12:11 p.m.

EVIAN A SPECIAL PLACE 'MI HYANG LEE'
In 2013 when The Evian Championship became a major on the LPGA, the field size was increased to 120 players. That increase allowed Mi Hyang Lee to sneak into the field where she would finish T19. Before Evian, Lee was outside the top 100 on the Official Money List but the result in France propelled her towards finishing the year 92nd overall, meaning the second-year player wouldn’t have to go back to LPGA Qualifying School.

The next year, Lee would become a Rolex First-Time Winner in Japan at the 2014 Mizuno Classic and hasn’t had to worry about losing her card since, while also adding another win at the 2017 Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open. In her mind, she owes it all to the 2013 Evian Championship.
“I think I got in here last -- I think the last or the second last,” Lee recalled. “And then I made the cut and then I made it so I can keep my card so I don't have to back to Q-School. So it means a lot to me here.”
