2014 Evian Championship


The 2014 Evian Championship was played 11–14 September at the Evian Resort Golf Club in Évian-les-Bains, France. It was the 21st Evian Championship, and the second as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. The event was televised by Golf Channel and NBC Sports in the United States and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
Kim Hyo-joo, age 19, shot an opening round 61 and held on to total 273, one stroke ahead of runner-up Karrie Webb. Trailing by a stroke at the final tee, Kim sank a putt for birdie while Webb failed to par from the same distance to force a playoff. It was Kim's first win on the LPGA Tour and she became the third-youngest in history to win a women's major title.
