Boutier’s victory in her homeland’s major is a wonderful occasion for France. This year, the 29-year-old golfer has had an incredible season, winning twice on the LPGA Tour. Prior to winning the latest tournament, she was ranked 13th in the Rolex Women’s World Ranking. This was her ranking after competing in the Women’s US Open in the 27th week of the LPGA tour, having dropped out of the top-10.
After winning the LPGA Drive On Championship at Superstition Mountains earlier this year, she had seen a massive boost to her ranking. However, her performances dwindled a little thereafter. But all that has changed now. In the wake of the Evian event, the French professional golfer has ascended back the ranks and is now ranked fourth, her career-best to date. To share this exciting news with all the fans, the Ladies European Tour took to Instagram. They shared a picture of Boutier and wrote, “Major move 🏆 Celine Boutier jumps to a career best 4th in the @ROLEX World Rankings after winning her first major at the @EvianChamp.”
