Trailing by four strokes? No problem for Celine Boutier! The Frenchwoman claimed the title at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, writing a comeback story for the history books. What a sensational round!
With a sensational final round of 66, Boutier charged from behind through the field. She started the final day 4 strokes behind the lead, but that only seemed to spur her on further. On the 18th green, she sealed the deal, confidently sinking her putt and securing the trophy.
Nerves of Steel on the Green
The pressure was truly on the green, but Boutier kept her cool. To make up a four-stroke deficit and then deliver such a final day, that's pure drama. Her 66 was a statement – a title charge that fully paid off. She proved that in golf, you should never give up, even when the leaderboard seems to speak a clear language.
Boutier's Second Triumph
This triumph is not just another entry in Boutier's resume, but also her second victory at the ShopRite LPGA Classic. She had already struck here in 2021, and now she repeats the feat five years later in 2026. And there was also reason for Ireland to celebrate: Lauren Walsh had a very strong showing and secured third place.
