On a low scoring day full of birdies, eagles and holes-in-one, Steph Kyriacou got in on the act during a “boring” five-under round that has her two off the lead and heading the Australian contingent at the Amundi Evian Championship.
The LPGA Tour heads this week to its first major of the season on non-American soil for the Amundi Evian Championship in France amid some of its most uncertain times of the 2024 season.
Self-confessed Olympic tragic Karrie Webb wants to play her part in securing Australia’s first medal in Olympic golf competition when she captains the Australian team at the Paris 2024 Games later this month.

Australia’s two biggest stars in women’s golf, Hannah Green and Minjee Lee, fittingly shared the top Australian honours at the Women’s PGA Championship one day before they were set to be confirmed as the country’s Olympic golf team.

As the final round looms, one of the three main contenders is a two-time major winner who seems to have ice running through her veins, another is a child star whose success on the professional circuit seems inevitable, and the last is a 31-year-old who had so little confidence in her game that she expected to shoot 80 and miss the cut, hates pressure and doesn’t think she handles it very well, seems dead tired from the hard walk at Lancaster Country Club, and has been coping with the fear of a ghost.
It was another difficult day full of high scores at the US Women’s Open, where West Australian Minjee Lee again displayed patience and top quality ball-striking to sit one-under and in a share of third place at the halfway mark.
