Haeran Ryu beats Brooke Henderson in playoff to win Evian Championship
EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) --- Haeran Ryu birdied the first hole of a playoff
with Brooke Henderson to win the Evian Championship on Sunday for a second
straight major title in the space of three weeks.
The South Korean golfer backed up her victory at the Women's PGA Championship
at Hazeltine National Golf Club on June 29.
Ryu (level-par 71) and Henderson (7-under 64) finished on 19-under par for the
week at Evian Golf Resort, with Henderson making three eagles. They included a
hole-in-one at No. 8 and an eagle at No. 18 that got the 2022 champion into the
playoff.
They went back up No. 18, Henderson had to lay up after pulling her drive, and
she wound up making par.
Ryu, who shot 60 on Saturday for the lowest round at a major, rolled in a
birdie putt from three feet for the win.
