Resurgent Pressel one back at Evian Championship

Morgan Pressel moved into position at the Evian Championship to make a weekend run at winning her second major championship.

With a 6-under-par 65 Friday, Pressel set the pace in the morning wave at Evian Resort Golf Club in France, climbing within one shot of South Korea’s Mi Hyang Lee (67). Lee’s at 9 under overall. Denmark’s Nicole Broch Larsen (67) is two shots back and China’s Shanshan Feng (68) three back.

Lee, 22, broke through to win her first LPGA title late last year, taking the Mizuno Classic in Japan.
