Ryu Makes History with Record-Breaking Major Win

Haeran Ryu has claimed her second consecutive major championship at the Amundi Evian Championship, marking a historic achievement in women's golf. Ryu set a new record by shooting an astonishing 60 in the third round, the lowest score ever recorded in a men's or women's major championship.

Despite a significant deficit heading into the final day, Brooke Henderson delivered a spectacular performance to force a play-off. Henderson birdied the first hole and later recorded an eagle and a hole-in-one, surging into contention. She continued her charge with back-to-back birdies to join the leaders.

Ryu ultimately secured the victory on the first play-off hole with a decisive birdie putt. Henderson's remarkable fightback fell just short as her attempt to extend the play-off was unsuccessful. This win follows Ryu's recent triumph at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

Other notable performances included Mao Saigo and Miyu Yamashita tying for fourth place, while Lydia Ko finished in seventh. Anna Nordqvist was the top European player, securing her best major finish in three years.
