BROOKE HENDERSON ENDED her long wait for a second major title at the Evian Championship as a birdie on the final hole clinched a one-shot victory.
The 24-year-old Canadian, whose previous major triumph came at the 2016 Women’s PGA Championship, struggled for much of the last round.
But a birdie on the 18th green secured an even-par 71 for a 17-under par total and a narrow victory over American world number 283 Sophia Schubert.
Stephanie Meadow shot a closing 68 to climb the leaderboard and finish tied-40th on five-under par, while Leona Maguire finished her week tied-65th on level par.
Henderson started the final day with a two-stroke advantage but stumbled to three-over par through 13 holes and out of the lead.
But back-to-back birdies on 14 and 15 drew her level with Schubert and she rolled in an eight-foot putt to grab the title.
Schubert, 26, a former US Amateur champion playing in just her second major as a professional, finished second, one shot ahead of a group of five players.
Makes sense he’s had a few injuries this season so why use him, give him a rest and proper recovery. He’s a big part of Jose’s future plans so he’ll be raring to go next season as a result
@Johnny Bravo: how do you know he’s a big part of Jose’s future plans ?
@Johnny Bravo: o
@Johnny Bravo: or did you just make that up ?
@Alana: to much coffee today Jamie ?
@Johnny Bravo: or is your hand and fingers swollen from some other offline activity?
@Johnny Bravo: stick to making up stuff Thommo
@Alana: So I’m Thommo now lol you’re some tulip
@Johnny Bravo: where did you read he’s part of Jose’s plan for the future?
@Alana: don’t know if this helps, but I read it here. Some bloke called Johnny said so.
@Jumperoo: you must be new here, he makes a lot of stuff up here he also uses the account Thommo
@Alana: obsessed
Wrapping him in cotton wool with nothing to play for in premier league. Probably get a game before FA cup final, arrangement suits everyone good managing. Another CB, LB and a CM who can control tempo of the game(very few out there) needed to challenge man city next season.
@Eric Djemba-Djemba: why would he wrap him up in cotton wool when he had the whole summer off lol deluded
@Alana: why risk injuring your best player with nothing to play for at the end of season?
@Eric Djemba-Djemba: going by your logic Madrid will rest Ronaldo for every game bar the CL final then
@Alana: do you ever stop 20 comments on a Jose article and you took up 10 spouting absolute drivel
Great management. That will make his players warm to him even more.
So considerate of Jose
Story outta nothing again lads…..
So
Makes no sense ? Mourinho is moaning when players have too much games , no rest he moans ? Yet he is playing guys who will be playing an extra month of World Cup in nothing games ! Bizzare
Nothing strange great man management
