Celine Boutier made back-to-back birdies on the 18th hole at Superstition Mountain—the first to force a playoff with Georgia Hall, the second to beat her European Solheim Cup teammate—en route to victory at the LPGA Drive On Championship Sunday outside Phoenix. The 29-year-old Frenchwoman, who capped a 20-under 268 performance with a closing 68.
“It was not easy by any means. I feel like this course is very scoreable, so you know you have to make a lot of birdies,” said Boutier.
It was Boutier’s third career LPGA victory in her seventh season on tour, allowing her to pass Patricia Meunier-Lebouc and Anne-Marie Palli and become the all-time leading LPGA winner from France.
“It’s very special,” Boutier said of the milestone. “I was trying not to think about it because it was so crazy to think about making history in any way.”
With the victory, Boutier claimed a first-place prize money payout of $262,500, allowing her to surpass the $4 million mark in career earnings.
