South Korean golfer Ryu Hae-ran claimed her second consecutive major title in two weeks, defeating Canada's Brooke Henderson in a sudden-death playoff at the Amundi Evian Championship in Évian-les-Bains, France, on Sunday. The 25-year-old, ranked seventh in the world, had squandered a five-shot lead during the final round before the pair finished level at 19-under par, with Ryu ultimately securing the $1.4 million prize by sinking a birdie putt on the first playoff hole. The victory follows her triumph at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship a fortnight ago, making her the first South Korean player to win consecutive majors since Hall of Famer Park In-bee claimed three in a row in 2013, and sets up a compelling conclusion to the season ahead of the AIG Women's Open on 30 July.
