England's Lottie Woad shot a seven-under-par 64 to take the halfway lead at the Amundi Evian Championship, one of women's golf's five major championships, held at Evian Resort Golf Club in France.

Woad's round put her at the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend, continuing a rapid rise that has made her one of the sport's most closely watched young players. Her low round on a demanding course known for its tricky greens and elevation changes signals a player playing with considerable confidence — the kind of form that tends to draw attention deep into major championship weekends.

With two rounds remaining, the tournament remains open, but a halfway major lead is a notable marker in any young player's career, and Woad's performance this week adds to a breakout run that has generated significant search interest around her name in recent months.
