Australian Minjee Lee couldn’t hide her delight after coming from seven shots behind to beat South Korea’s Lee6 Jeongeun in a play-off at the Evian Championship to join the exclusive club of major winners.
“I just can’t believe it - I am really happy,” admitted the 25-year-old after hitting a six iron to eight feet for a birdie four, and clinching victory at the first extra hole. “It’s a dream come true. I have been waiting for this for so long.”
Lee has been known as the best woman golfer without a major win, having finished third in both the 2017 ANA Inspirational and last year’s Women’s British Open.
“I just tried to play my best and it’s just great and amazing to win a major. I knew I had to play really well to win and I just made a lot of birdie chances,” she added.
