Her average driving distance of 270 yds, 75% fairways hit, and 75.5% greens-in-regulation should put her in a strong position at the Amundi Evian Championship.
Importantly, her strokes gained total rose from +1.68 (2023) to +2.49 (2024). At Evian, she has previously shot a third round 64 (–7) in 2023, hitting 16 greens in that round alone, the lowest that day.

Lee recently bagged her third major at the Women’s PGA Championship, shooting –10 (274), ranking second in SG: Tee-to-Green and third in scrambling. Now at Evian, she’s back on the stage where she debuted in 2014 and found her first major glory.
