Haeran Ryu wins second major title at Evian Championship
South Korea’s Haeran Ryu has secured her second major title in just two weeks, adding the Evian Championship to the Women’s PGA Championship she won earlier in May. In a tense playoff against Canada’s Brooke Henderson, Ryu prevailed with a birdie on the first extra hole, finishing 1‑under par to claim the title. The victory marks the first time a player has captured two majors within a fortnight in the modern era of women’s golf.
Ryu described the triumph as an “unreal dream,” reflecting the rapid ascent of the 24‑year‑old from her debut on the LPGA Tour to a dominant force on the world stage. The Evian win—her fifth career LPGA victory—solidifies her position among the sport’s elite, while the back‑to‑back majors underscore her consistency and mental fortitude. With two majors under her belt, Ryu is poised to contend for further titles as the season progresses.
