Kim wins 1st Major at Evian Championship with eagle on 2nd play-off hole against Jeeno

- 

EVIAN-LES-BAINS — Australian Grace Kim saved her best for last as she won her first Major title at the Evian Championship on July 13 in Evian-les-Bains, France.

After spinning her wheels through the first 14 holes — an eagle, two birdies, two bogeys, a double-bogey and eight pars — Kim ended her round with birdies at 15 and 16 and a final-hole eagle to force a play-off with world No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand.

Kim won with an eagle on the second play-off hole.

Kim and Jeeno entered the final round at Evian Resort Golf Club in a four-way tie for second, one shot behind co-leaders Cara Gainer of England and Australia's Gabriela Ruffels.

Kim and Jeeno both turned in four-under rounds of 67 to finish in regulation at 14-under 270.

Jeeno was steady throughout the bogey-free round, recording four birdies.

It was nothing like the roller coaster for Kim, whose putt on 18 sealed the play-off, then a miraculous chip-in from the penalty area to stay alive on the first play-off hole.
