Triple Aussie Charge Heats Up at The Amundi Evian Championship
What a thrilling scene unfolding at the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship — we’re seeing something really special from the Australians this year. As the third round concludes at the stunning Evian Resort Golf Club in France, three Australian players have rocketed into the top five, making this one of the most exciting showings from the Aussies in recent memory.
Let’s start with Grace Kim — the 24-year-old from Sydney is having an incredible tournament. Not only is she sitting just one shot off the lead after a polished third-round 68, but her energy on the course is electric. After finishing her round on the 18th, she took time to sign autographs and engage with fans, embodying both talent and grace. Kim is showing the composure of a seasoned major winner, and yet this is still just the early chapter of what could be a stellar LPGA career.

Right there with her is Minjee Lee, a name that golf fans already associate with major dominance. Fresh off a victory at the Women’s PGA Championship, Lee is holding her ground on the leaderboard after a steady even-par 71. Ranked sixth in the world, she knows how to handle pressure, and her calm, strategic play could easily push her to the top by the final round.
And don’t overlook Gabriela Ruffels. The former U.S. Women’s Amateur champion has been quietly putting together a strong performance, making this tournament not just a showcase of experience, but a powerful statement from emerging talent as well. The depth of the Aussie field this week is impressive — each one playing with confidence, each one within striking distance.
At the top of the board is South Korea’s Somi Lee at 10 under, coming off a sizzling 65 that included an eagle and six birdies. But Grace Kim is right there at nine under, followed closely by major champ Jennifer Kupcho and other notable contenders like Jeeno Thitikul.
And while the professionals are lighting up the leaderboard, we can’t ignore the incredible run from amateur Lottie Woad of England. She drained a monster 60-foot putt for birdie on the 18th and is now tied for 19th at six under. A top-25 finish would lock in her LPGA Tour card through the new Elite Amateur Pathway — a huge milestone. She’s gritty, she’s talented, and she’s proving she belongs on the biggest stage.
With just one round to go, the championship is wide open. The Australians are clearly on the charge, and if today’s momentum carries into Sunday, we could be celebrating a green-and-gold triumph at Evian.
