One week after banking $1 million for her first major, Celine Boutier cashed another big check after winning the 2023 Women’s Scottish Open.

Boutier won at Dundonald Links in Ayshire, Scotland, by two shots over Hyu Joo Kim and by three over Ruoning Yin.

It’s Boutier’s fifth LPGA victory and second in two weeks after she claimed the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship in France. She’s the first LPGA golfer in seven years to win a major and then win the next week’s event. She’s the first on the LPGA to win consecutive tournaments in two years. And she’s the first to win three times in 2023, after having also won the LPGA Drive On Championship in Arizona in March.

Her $300,000 payday in Scotland pushes her past the $2 million mark for the 2023 season.

Celine Boutier captures 2023 Amundi Evian Championship on home soil for first major title

Capping off a dream week, the native of Clamart, France, stormed to her first major championship on home soil.

[parone_video_player hide-all=”true” autoplay=”true” feed=”20-lpga-video” content-key=”e81ae262″/]

After her third round on Saturday, Celine Boutier admitted she was playing “mind games” with herself, trying hard to pretend that the 2023 Amundi Evian was just another tournament, similar to the countless events she’s played since becoming an LPGA rookie in 2017.

“I was kind of half-joking, but I feel like the fact that my family is here and we’re staying in a house 15, 20 minutes away kind of really helps me take my mind off golf and the tournament,” Boutier said on Saturday. “I feel like that’s been helpful for me to really kind of relax and not think about golf.”

But alas, this was no ordinary event. And Boutier delivered an extraordinary performance — one that her countrymen will remember for a long time.

Capping off a dream week, the native of Clamart, France, stormed to her first major championship on home soil, taking the crown at the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship by a comfortable margin. With fans cheering wildly at Evian Resort Golf Club, Boutier finished the tournament at 14 under, marking a six-stroke victory over runner-up Brooke Henderson.

Even with a three-stroke edge heading into the final round, Boutier came storming out of the gates on Sunday, posting birdies on three of the first five holes to run away from the field. Boutier, who insisted all week that a victory at the Evian would be a dream scenario, brought three LPGA titles into the week and three Ladies European Tour wins as well, including the French Open in 2021.

But this was clearly the crowning achievement of an already impressive career. Fans, organizers and even local media seemed moved by the magnitude of the victory, one that put the spotlight on French golf.

“Honestly, it has been my biggest dream ever since I started watching golf,” Boutier said after holing out a par putt on the 18th hole. “This tournament has always been very special to me, just even watching as a teenager and just to be able to hold this trophy, it’s pretty unbelievable.”

When asked if this title could be a springboard to bigger things this season, Boutier explained that this was the thing she coveted dearly.

“I think nothing else matters now that I have this trophy,” she said. “So I’m really good for the rest of the year.”

Henderson, meanwhile, appeared to making a run on the front nine, as she used birdies on the fourth and ninth holes to get to 9 under, but a bogey on No. 12 seemed to take any steam out of her charge. She finished at 8 under for the tournament and 1 under for the day.

The Canadian has enjoyed plenty of success at this event, posting six top-25 finishes, but has yet to capture the crown.

“I love coming here to France. The atmosphere, the people are amazing. This course is so beautiful and a lot of fun to play,” Henderson said. “I feel like we have a good strategy for it now which is exciting. To finish I think T2 this year is amazing after coming off the win last year. I’m really proud of that. Celine played amazing, so really happy for her too.”

Nelly Korda, who fired a 64 on Saturday, didn’t enjoy as much success in the final round, shooting a 72 to finish 5 under, pushing her into a crowded tie for ninth with Rose Zhang, Atthaya Thitikul, Megan Khang and Su Ji Kim.

Photos: Nasa Hataoka through the years

View photos of Nasa Hataoka throughout her professional career.

Already with double-digit wins before the age of 25, Nasa Hataoka is a force to be reckoned with in professional golf.

With six wins on the LPGA Tour since joining in 2018, Hataoka is still looking for her first major title. In fewer than 30 major starts, Hataoka has racked up eight top-10 finishes with five finishes inside the top five.

Her closest call with a major title came at the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open. In a playoff against Yuka Saso, she finished runner up at the Olympic Club. Hataoka suffered a similar fate at the 2018 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Bound to etch her name into the history books eventually, it’s not a question of if Nasa Hataoka will ever win a major, but when.

After turning to old driver, Nelly Korda fires round-low 64 at 2023 Evian Championship

Korda is right back in the mix at Evian Resort.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

It hasn’t been pretty for Nelly Korda over her last few starts on the LPGA. She missed the cut at both the Cognizant Founders Cup and the KPMG Women’s PGA before tying for 64th at the U.S. Women’s Open.

Korda did, however, win the Ladies European Tour event in London two weeks ago.

That mojo didn’t fully carry over into this week’s Amundi Evian Championship, as the world No. 2 opened with rounds of 70-73 and was 1 over through 36 holes at Evian Resort Golf Club.

Korda went off early Saturday morning and had an old friend in the bag: a Titleist TSR1. She signed with TaylorMade in January and was using a Stealth 2.

She wasn’t asked about the change after her round, but she did say the low round was “relieving.”

“Honestly, relieving. It was super nice to see all the hard work kind of pay off today. Obviously still have 18 more holes, anything can happen, but I made a push today on moving day, which I’m really happy about,” Korda said.

The 25-year-old will begin Sunday’s final round five back of leader Celine Boutier. Korda tees off alongside Yuka Saso at 6:05 a.m. ET. Coverage on Golf Channel will run from 5:30-11 a.m. ET.

Celine Boutier holds three-shot lead on home soil at 2023 Evian Championship

Can Boutier close the deal on Sunday with several big names chasing her down?

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

Celine Boutier is the 15th-ranked player in the world, has won three times on the LPGA, has played in two Solheim Cups and represented France at the Olympics. But if she wins Sunday, she’ll elevate her career to the next level.

Boutier holds a three-shot lead after 54 holes of the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club in Evian-les-Bains, France.

The 29-year-old followed up her first two rounds (66-69) with a 4-under 67 on Saturday to solidify her spot atop the leaderboard at 11 under.

The Frenchwoman will have to hold off a slew of big-name players on Sunday if she wants to hoist her first major championship trophy on home soil.

The low round of the day belonged to Nelly Korda, who shot a bogey-free 7-under 64. She rocketed up the board on Day 3, now sitting at T-5 with Yuka Saso, five back of Boutier.

Nasa Hataoka is alone in second at 8 under while Minjee Lee and Brooke Henderson are tied for third at 7 under.

Coverage of the final round will be available on Golf Channel from 5:30-11 a.m. ET Sunday.

Some big names missed the cut at the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship

There’s also a slew of big-name LPGA golfers who are done for the week at Evian Resort Golf Club

They’re heading to the weekend at the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship, with Celine Boutier leading on home soil after 36 holes.

Others making the cut include Brooke Henderson, Jin Young Ko, Minjee Lee, Rose Zhang, Lydia Ko and Nelly Korda (on her birthday).

Carlota Ciganta won’t play the weekend not because of a missed cut but because of a disqualification after Thursday’s first round. She officially was booted for signing an incorrect scorecard after being put on the clock for slow play.

There’s also a slew of big-name LPGA golfers who are already done for the week after missing the cut at Evian Resort Golf Club in Evians-Les-Bains, France, site of the fourth of five LPGA majors this year.

Amundi Evian Championship Friday 5 things: Celine Boutier eyes win on home soil

Boutier has posted rounds of 66 and 69 to get to 7 under for the championship.

Celine Boutier has three LPGA wins. A victory this week, though, would be her biggest by far.

After 36 holes at the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship in Evian-Les-Bains, France, the fourth of five LPGA majors in 2023, Boutier, a native of the host nation, holds a one-shot lead after hitting 10 of 13 fairways and 15 of 18 greens Friday.

Boutier has posted rounds of 66 and 69 to get to 7 under for the championship. She has 10 birdies and just three bogeys over the first two days.

She admitted to feeling the nerves of playing on home soil in a major.

“It’s definitely not easy. I feel like in the past I’ve definitely, you know, not handled it very well. I just feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself because I don’t want to disappoint anybody,” she said.”If I learned anything from the past, I really have to just focus on the job and on the course, on each shot. I feel like that’s really helped me really stay focused and not get ahead or think too much about the plans.”

Boutier is trying to treat this like any other tournament but there’s no avoiding things like doing news conferences twice, in two different languages.

“I feel like it’s a positive thing that the French media is talking about women’s golf and Evian,” she said. “I feel like anything I can do to bring more attention to the tournament and women’s golf, in general, is always a good thing.”

Heres some other things you should know about Friday’s second round.

Carlota Ciganda refuses slow-play penalty, gets DQ’d from LPGA’s Evian major

The DQ was for signing an incorrect scorecard.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

Carlota Ciganda, a two-time winner on the LPGA and a five-time member of the European Solheim Cup team, was disqualified after the first round of the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship, the fourth LPGA major of the season.

The official reason was for signing an incorrect scorecard, but the situation arose out of a slow-play penalty assessed on Ciganda’s final hole of the round. The Spaniard refused to acknowledge a two-shot penalty, signed her card without adding the two shots, then was DQ’d.

Ciganda was 3 over after her round, not counting the penalty strokes. The penalty would have pushed her score to 5-over 76, and she would have trailed first-round leader Paula Reto by 12 shots.

Ciganda was playing with fellow Arizona State alum Anna Nordqvist as well as Celine Herbin. Officially Group 14, the threesome started on the 10th hole Thursday at Evian Resort Golf Club in Evain-Les-Bains, France.

When they got to the seventh hole, their 16th hole of the day, they were notified by rules officials that they were out of position.

After failing to make up time, the group was put on the clock on the eighth hole, their 17th of the round. On the ninth hole, Ciganda took too long to play and was assessed a two-stroke penalty per the LPGA’s pace of play policy.

As was her right, she appealed to the advance and lead rules officials but was denied, meaning the two-stroke penalty would stick. She opted to sign her scorecard without accounting for those two strokes. Ciganda was told if she left the official recording area having turned in a signed incorrect scorecard, she would be disqualified. The LPGA said she left of her own accord, leading to the DQ.

An LPGA spokesperson told Golfweek: “Rule 3.3b(3) states that if a returned score is lower than the actual score, the player is disqualified from the competition. The exception to this Rule does not apply because Ciganda was aware of the penalty strokes received and upheld before signing her scorecard and leaving the recording area.”

Ciganda tied for 12th in her most recent event, the Dana Open, following a tie for 20th at the U.S. Women’s Open and a tie for third at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She ranks 14th on this year’s money list with $876,447, and she is No. 31 in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings. She won both her LPGA titles in 2016.

Busy leaderboard highlights what we learned Thursday at 2023 Amundi Evian Championship

A handful of big names stumbled out the gate in France on Thursday.

The first round of the fourth women’s major championship of the year didn’t disappoint Thursday as some of the world’s best got off to hot starts at the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship.

A total of 49 players made their way around the Evian Resort’s Championship course under par in the opening round in Evian-les-Bains, France, and it’s Paula Reto leading the way at 7 under. Four players are tied for second at 5 under, with another nine all locked at T-6 at 4 under.

From the players who stepped up to the big names who stumbled, here’s what we learned from the first round of the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship.
