If golf greatness is determined by number of tour wins, then Sam Snead and Tiger Woods (both with 82 PGA Tour wins) and Kathy Whitworth (88 LPGA wins) would be America's finest. And for France? On the men's side, that title belongs to Thomas Levet (six European Tour wins). And, on Sunday, Celine Boutier further solidified her standing as France's finest female by winning the Maybank Championship in Malaysia for her sixth LPGA title. Boutier, 29, is having a breakout season, having won for the fourth time in 2023. Included in that 2023 total is her first major, the Evian Championship.
