Cara Gainer shot a third-round 64 to grab a share of the lead at the Evian Championship.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Englishwoman is tied at the top of the leaderboard at 11-under with Australia’s Gabriela Ruffels, who shot 66.<\/p>\n

Gainer put herself into contention to win her first major with six birdies and an eagle on the seventh hole at the Evian Resort Golf Club in Evian-les-Bains, France.<\/p>\n

“I made a great par save on the first which really settled my nerves,” she said.<\/p>\n

“My eagle putt was definitely a highlight of the day. I hit a great drive, a great hybrid into the green about 10ft and holed the putt.<\/p>\n

“I have good feelings and good vibes in this amazing beautiful place.”<\/p>\n

World number two Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand, three-time major winner Minjee Lee and fellow Australian Grace Kim are among those a stroke behind Gainer and Ruffels at 10 under.<\/p>\n

English amateur Lottie Woad (70) finished with a 60ft birdie putt and is tied for 19th at six under.<\/p>\n

The Evian Championship is the fourth of this season’s five LPGA majors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
