As she raised the Amundi Evian Championship trophy, Minjee Lee was speechless. After seven years on the LPGA and five wins, she could finally call herself a major champion.
“I been waiting for this for so long. It just feels unreal to have won,” said Lee, who started her round on Sunday seven shots behind leader Jeongeun Lee6.
Eighteen holes and seven birdies later, Lee finished her round as the clubhouse leader by one shot at 18 under.
“I played really well to get myself in that position,” said Lee, who made four birdies in her last five holes.
