Haeran Ryu birdies the first playoff hole to win a second consecutive major in just three weeks. The 25-year-old South Korean golfer carded an even-par 71 in the final round of the Evian Championship to take down defending champion Brooke Henderson in a thrilling playoff finish.
Ryu and Henderson finished tied at 19-under par after 72 holes at the picturesque Evian Golf Resort in France. Henderson made three eagles in her final round, which included a stunning eagle-2 at the 18th hole, but ultimately fell short in the playoff. The Canadian golfer shot a 7-under 64 in the final round, her lowest score of the week.
Ryu’s back-to-back major wins are a testament to her growing dominance on the LPGA Tour. In just three weeks, she has won two of the most prestigious events in women’s golf, including the U.S. Women’s Open. This victory marks her third major title and first Evian Championship title, solidifying her position as one of the top players in the world.
Ryu’s historic win has sent shockwaves through the golfing community, with many hailing her as the new face of women’s golf. After the win, Ryu expressed her gratitude to her team and family, saying, ‘I couldn’t have done it without my caddie, who helped me stay focused and calm throughout the playoff.’ She added, ‘This win is not just for me, but for all the young girls and women who believe in themselves and their abilities.’
With this win, Ryu earns 500 points towards the LPGA’s Player of the Year award and a significant boost in the world rankings. She will next tee off at the Scottish Open in two weeks, where she will look to continue her hot streak and cement her position as one of the top players in the world.
