The Evian Championship wins just by being at the root of this uproar over what constitutes a Grand Slam in the women’s game.
This debate over whether the Grand Slam should be defined by winning four major championships on the LPGA schedule or sweeping all five is brilliant misdirection.
The fact that we’re debating what is legitimately a Grand Slam is a massive triumph for LPGA commissioner Mike Whan. It means in our passionate lurch to debate we’ve acquiesced on a larger point. We’ve officially bestowed legitimacy to Evian as a fifth major.
David Copperfield would be proud.
