Haeran Ryu wins the Amundi Evian Championship for a second straight major, defeating Brooke Henderson in a playoff. Multiple outlets report the match is decided after regulation play, with Ryu edging Henderson on the first extra hole to secure the title. Ryu’s victory follows her recent success at the PGA Championship, making it consecutive major wins within a two-week span. BBC describes the moment as feeling like an “unreal dream,” while other reports emphasize the playoff drama and Henderson’s late surge as the challenge Ryu holds off. CBS and Yahoo also note the rarity of the achievement, stating it is the first time in LPGA history that two different players win multiple majors in the same season, and that Ryu becomes only the second golfer to win back-to-back LPGA majors this season. Overall, the sources agree that Ryu’s playoff birdie on the first sudden-death hole delivers her second major title in succession, with Henderson left narrowly defeated despite pushing hard to force the extra hole.
