The LPGA's fifth and final major of the 2014 season kicked into gear on Saturday with the third round of the Evian Championship. Following cut day on Friday, the field has been whittled down to the best players the sport has to offer. 

Defending champion Suzann Pettersen was in contention heading into the third round at six under par. Her third round was a mixed bag, but she remains within striking distance of the leaders heading into Sunday's final round. 

Brittany Lincicome held the lead coming into Saturday but bombed in the third round with three double bogeys on the front nine, with two coming on her first two holes for the day. She shot 65 on Friday but matched that total through 15 holes in Round 3.

Here's a look at the 54-hole leaderboard, along with highlights and analysis as we head into the final 18 holes of the year's final major tournament.

At this point I would take any win. It's been a while. When I'm playing well, it's just kind of light and easy and just having a good time, going with the flow, and not paying attention to the leaderboard.

Lincicome's last win in a major tournament came in 2009 when she won the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Her last win of any kind was at the Canadian Women's Open in August 2011. Coming out of the gate the way she did, as noted by the tournament's official Twitter feed, squashed all that goodwill from Friday.
