The third round of the aforementioned tournament raised optimism among golf enthusiasts that Boutier would be able to claim the title for the Evian Championship this year. However, Justin Ray’s rapid report on the third day perplexed supporters. It also calls into doubt her victory.
Celine Boutier will carry a 3-shot lead into the final round of the Evian Championship.
3 of the last 4 winners at Evian were 4+ shots back through 54 holes. Each of the first 3 major winners in the women's game in 2023 trailed entering the final round.

Ray turned to Twitter to give some accurate analysis on both the Evian Championship and the major tournaments in 2023 for women. According to the statistics, three of the past four Evian winners were 4+ strokes down following the third round. But the fourth round changed the situation as they won the title.
Furthermore, Ray reminded golf fans that even in the 2023 tournament, the first three major champions were not at the top of the scoreboard until the fourth round was completed. This included Lilia Viu, who defeated Angel Vin in the playoff round to earn her first major championship. Next, Yin Ruoning won the KPMG event, earning one stroke more than Yuka Saso on the last day. Finally, Allisen Corpurz defeated Charley Hull by three strokes on the last day.

Those who supported the French professional golfer were therefore left tense. Nonetheless, in the fourth round, Boutier continues to shine as she leads the scoreboard.
Is Celine Boutier going to make a win?
The 29-year-old is still competing and has three birdies in round four. She is still on top of the standings, 5 strokes ahead of Nasa Hataoka. The match is still ongoing, and anything can happen before the end of the final round.
