Charley Hull trimmed Aki Iwai’s advantage to two shots after a one‑under 70 in the second round at the Amundi Evian Championship, keeping her in contention for a maiden major title. Hull’s performance demonstrates resilience after a shaky start and aligns her with the field’s best.

Hull’s round featured three birdies and two bogeys, while Atthaya Thitikul surged to six under after a sensational seven‑under 64 that included an eagle and five birdies, tying Hull. The two players now sit on the same scorecard, tightening the leaderboard.

Iwai, who opened with a 63 that set a course record for the week, remains the overnight leader at eight under, with Lottie Woad four shots back after a 67 that included a final‑hole eagle. Nelly Korda aims to re‑ignite her Grand Slam bid after a 74 start, with the stakes high for LPGA fans.

With only a handful of holes left, the playoff scenario looms as the top four finish within a single stroke. The outcome will shape the LPGA season and fan expectations, as Hull’s steady play keeps the Englishman’s prospects alive while Iwai’s early lead threatens to eclipse the rest.
