Chun in sight of golfing history at Evian (Reuters)

PARIS, (Reuters) - Chun In-gee of South Korea edged closer to a second major title, and a slice of golfing history, when she extended her lead to four shots at the Evian Championship in France on Saturday.

Chun shot a third-round 65 to finish 19-under-par, thanks largely to a strong back nine with three birdies and an eagle.

Her compatriot Park Sung-hyun lies second before Sunday’s final day. China’s Shanshan Feng is third at 13-under-par while South Korea's Ryu So-yeon is fourth at 12-under-par.

Victory on Sunday could also see her break the record for the lowest winning score in a major championship by either a male or female.
