The fourth women’s major of the year is here as a field of the best players in the world has descended upon Evian Resort Golf Club for the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship in Evian-les-Bains, France.
Brooke Henderson, who’s finished inside the top 15 in three of her last four starts including the last two majors, is the defending champion. The Canadian star defeated Sophia Schubert by one shot last season.
World No. 2 Nelly Korda hasn’t had her game on the LPGA of late. She missed the cut at the Cognizant Founders Cups and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship before tying for 64th at the U.S. Women’s Open. However, she won a Ladies European Tour event in London on July 16. We’ll see if that serves as a catalyst for the rest of her season.
Paula Reto fired a 64 in the opening round on Thursday to jump to the top of the leaderboard. Wichanee Meechai, Celine Boutier and American Alison Lee all finished the day two shots back.
Here are some of the best photos from the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship.
