Teenager Lydia Ko in contention at LPGA’s Evian Championship

South Korea’s Mi Hyang Lee kept the lead in stormy conditions Saturday at the Evian Championship in France, and New Zealand teenager Lydia Ko remained in contention to become the youngest player to win a major.

Lee shot one-under-par 70 to reach 10-under 203. American Lexi Thompson was a stroke back after a 66.

Lee was paired with Morgan Pressel (71), and they went toe to toe until the par-four 18th hole, where the American made a double bogey after hitting her second shot in water.

They played their final six holes in rain, wind and gloom.

Pressel had a 71 to drop into a tie for third with Ko at eight under. The 18-year-old Ko shot a 67 and is pursuing her last chance to become the youngest major woman. If she wins, Ko will surpass Pressel, who won the Kraft Nabisco Championship at 18 years, 10 months and 9 days in 2007.
