Chun sets major record in France

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, fRANCE >> In Gee Chun won the Evian Championship with the lowest 72-hole score in major championship history, finishing at 21-under 263 for a four-stroke victory.

The 22-year-old South Korean player made a 10-foot par putt on the par-4 18th to break the overall major record of 20 under set by Henrik Stenson and Jason Day and the women’s mark of 19 under.

She led from start to finish, although she did share the first-round lead with Sung Hyun Park.

Chun finished with a 2-under 69. In four days of intensely accurate driving and clinical putting, she was nearfaultless. Her only significant blemish was a double bogey on the ninth hole in the third round — and even then she limited the damage having opted for a two-stroke penalty.

He also won the 2006 tournament at Castello di Tolcinasco.
