Celine Boutier is the newest addition to the list of LPGA major champions. Earlier this Sunday, she won the Evian Championship as well as $1,000,000. She was France’s first-ever winner at the championship. The media and the golf world are stunned at this historic win, Boutier’s second in a span of a few months.

She is already at the venue for her next tournament, and the golf community is as excited as ever. Ahead of the event, Boutier confidently opened up about her recent post-victory experience.

Celine Boutier had a media round ahead of the Scottish Open. With the AIG Women’s Open scheduled for next week at Walton Heath, many players won’t show up for the Thursday-Sunday event. One such name is Nelly Korda, a close competitor to Boutier at the Amundi Evian Championship.
When the media asked Celine Boutier why she showed up, she explained: “…And I feel like even though Walton Heath is not going to be like links, traditional links, I feel like it’s still good to be in the U.K. and Scotland and to be able to get a feel for the wind and weather and stuff like that. I feel like it was going to be a good week to prepare for the British.”
