Stein stayed steady and discipline on the front nine. After running into a few bumps and fast greens, Stein finished the day with an even par for a three-day total at one-under.

USA Women still hold a five-stroke lead over France for the top team spot, with Germany sitting in third. 

In the men’s group, USA’s Jacob Meloche (-9) continues to lead the pack with a one-stroke lead over France’s Nicolas Muller (-8).
