The English amateur Lottie Woad endangered great history before Grace Kim Jeeno Thitikul defeated in a dramatic play-off to win the Evian championship.
In the final round, Woad went five strokes of the pace, but accused of position by firing five Birdies in a front-nine 30, with the world amateur no. 1 briefly jumped in the outright lead after a Birdie brought her to seven on the round.
The 21-year-old canceled a three-put-bogey on the 14th with a birdie at the next and ended with three straight pars to post a seven-under 64 and with six groups that still set the clubhouse goal at 13.
Woad ended a shot back in the draw, while Kim made a tap-in eagle-after a stunning approach in the last-to forcing a play-off when Thitikul missed a Birdie Putt on the 72nd hole for the victory.
Kim found the water with her approach in the first extra hole, but went out for a sensational bird to stack the pressure on Thitikul, who stepped up and down to match the score and extend the game, and then a long -distance gap on the second extra hole to claim a first big title.
