The Evian Championship is filled with artistry.
It’s laborious for artwork to not occur what with France enjoying host to the fourth main championship of the season for the LPGA, however inspiration was clearly out to be discovered on the bottom and particularly so by the match’s winner in Grace Kim.
Jeeno Thitikul, winner of the Mizuho Americas Open earlier this season, the winner of this complete factor earlier than Kim turned on the jets close to the end. She was on absolute fireplace over her final six holes, together with the playoff in opposition to Jeeno: Birdie, Birdie, Par, Eagle, Birdie, Eagle.
The 2 playoff holes each passed off at 18, a par 5 that invited scoring alternatives. Issues gave the impression to be trying grim for Grace on the primary enjoying of it after she needed to take a drop, however then she chipped in to make birdie and ship issues to a second enjoying of the opening. She made good by making eagle to win.
It doesn’t get any extra dramatic than this. Take into account the stakes as soon as extra in that Grace was going through a dire scenario with Jeeno showing to on the verge of birdie (which she did make). To have this go in after getting scorching to pressure a playoff within the first place… typically it’s simply your day.
Kim is an Australian and her win marked a severe achievement for the land down underneath. With Minjee Lee having gained the KPMG Girls’s PGA Championship that is now formally the primary time that Australians have gained a number of majors in a single season on both the skilled males’s or ladies’s excursions. For what it’s value Karrie Webb gained a number of majors herself in each 2000 and 2001.
Evidently the ultimate spherical was unbelievable on the Evian. Nicely executed by Grace Kim.
