Kim, the only player to go bogey-free on Sunday, became the first player from South Korea to win the historic tournament. ... With his victory at 24 years and 21 days old, Kim secured his place among golf's elite young talents.

AMUNDI EVIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
➡️ Haeran Ryu captured her second major title of the season by defeating Brooke Henderson on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff at the Amundi Evian Championship. Ryu, who won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship just 13 days earlier, tied the LPGA Tour record for the shortest span between major victories. She finished regulation tied at 19-under-par 265.
➡️ The tournament featured unprecedented scoring milestones over the weekend. Ryu carded an 11-under-par 60 during Saturday's third round, establishing the lowest 18-hole score in major championship history. Ryu also tied the event's 54-hole scoring record of 194 before grinding out a final-round 71 to secure the playoff.
➡️ Brooke Henderson narrowly missed out on a major victory despite a historic performance at Evian Resort Golf Club. Henderson vaulted into a tie for the lead by carding a 7-under 64 on Sunday, punctuated by an eagle on the 72nd hole. She recorded three eagles in the final round, including a hole-in-one, bringing her weekly total to an LPGA-record six eagles.
