Golf-Kim Hyo-joo forges ahead as South Koreans dominate Evian

Kim Hyo-Joo forged to a one-shot lead over Park Sung-Hyun as South Korean players took a stranglehold on the Evian Championship in the third round in France on Saturday. Kim took over in front with a six-under-par 65 at Evian Resort Golf Club in Evian-Les-Bains, while Park was nipping at her heels after a 66.

Kim, who will start Sunday's final round at 15-under 198, and Park have a nice cushion over the pack. Fellow South Koreans Park In-bee and Ko Jin-young are equal third, four shots from the lead.

Halfway leader Lee Mi-Hyang backtracked with a 71 that left her five shots off the pace.
