Kyriacou in storm-hit Evian Championship major hunt

Sydney star Steph Kyriacou is still right in the thick of the hunt to lift her first major title despite a storm bringing an early end to proceedings in the second round of the Evian Championship in France.

The impressive 23-year-old was lying in joint second place in the season's fourth women's major after playing 16 holes of her second round when play was suspended on Friday, with Ayaka Furue holding a three-shot lead at 12 under par.

The Japanese leader still had five holes to play too when organisers felt it necessary to evacuate players from the spectacular Evian Resort Golf Club, which lies between Lake Geneva and Alpine peaks, and proceedings were abandoned for the day when the storm intensified.
