Celine Boutier wins first major by six shots

Home favourite Celine Boutier won the first major title of her career with a resounding victory in the Evian Championship in France.

The 29-year-old extended her overnight three-shot lead to finish six clear on 14 under after carding 68 in Sunday’s final round.

Boutier is the first French winner at the Evian Resort Golf Club. Canada’s defending champion Brooke Henderson finished second on eight under.

“It was definitely not easy and the conditions were tough so I just tried to stay focused on each hole at a time,” said Boutier, who claimed three birdies in her opening five holes. BBC
