The Evian Championship is filled with artistry.
It’s arduous 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 event’s winner in Grace Kim.
Jeeno Thitikul, winner of the Mizuho Americas Open earlier this season, seemed to be the winner of this complete factor earlier than Kim turned on the jets close to the end. She was on absolute hearth over her final six holes, together with the playoff towards Jeeno: Birdie, Birdie, Par, Eagle, Birdie, Eagle.
The 2 playoff holes each passed off at 18, a par 5 that invited scoring alternatives. Issues seemed 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 outlet. 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 dealing with a dire state of affairs with Jeeno showing to on the verge of birdie (which she did make). To have this go in after getting sizzling to power a playoff within the first place… generally it’s simply your day.
Kim is an Australian and her win marked a critical achievement for the land down beneath. With Minjee Lee having gained the KPMG Ladies’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 achieved by Grace Kim.
