Segment 3: Amundi Evian Championship: Can Boutier Defend Her Title? | GSMC Hoops & Heels Women’s Sports PodcastIt’s tee time at the GSMC Hoops and Heels Women’s Sports Podcast, brought to you by the GSMC Sports Network! We’re turning our focus to the greens as we preview the highly anticipated Amundi Evian Championship. Mark your calendars for July 11th to 14th, when the world's best golfers will compete at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France, vying for a share of the $6.5 million purse.Leading the charge is Céline Boutier, who will tee off as the defending champion for the first time in her career. Last year, Boutier triumphed with a final score of 68, clenching her second major victory of the season and solidifying her status as one of golf’s elite. With eight top-10 finishes and four LPGA Tour trophies in 2023, Boutier entered the championship with high expectations and the unwavering support of the French crowd. Can she maintain her top form and defend her title on home soil? The pressure is on, but Boutier is ready to rise to the occasion.Keep an eye on Nelly Korda, despite her recent setbacks, including a withdrawal due to a dog bite incident.

Brooke Henderson is another player to watch. The Canadian has consistently performed well at Evian, with a victory in 2022 and a second-place finish last year.

With eight top-10 finishes in Majors over the past five years, Ko is ready to reclaim her spot at the top. Lastly, the participation of Lexi Thompson and Ruoning Yin remains uncertain.
