In Brief: In Gee Chun wins Evian Championship

GOLF: Walking toward the 18th green at the Evian Championship in Evian-Les-Bains, France, with one putt to make golfing history, In Gee Chun felt the nerves gripping her.

After some motivating words from her caddie, she steadied herself and sank a putt from 10 feet to hold a difficult par. That putt saw her win at 21 under to record the lowest 72-round ever in a men’s or women’s major.

It was the 22-year-old South Korean’s second major after winning last year’s women’s U.S. Open.

It looked like she might miss the record lowest score when her tee shot flew into left rough.

After chatting to her caddie, she chose the safe option and used a wedge to chop her way onto the fairway, about 95 yards from the pin.

“I was so nervous,” Chun said. “So my caddie David Jones told me `’if you make the par, I buy the dinner.’”

She led from start to finish, although she did share the first-round lead with Sung Hyun Park – who finished four shots back in a tie for second with So YeonRyu.

Broadhurst wins Champions: Paul Broadhurst birdied the par-5 18th at Pebble Beach to win the PGA Tour Champions’ Nature Valley First Tee Open.

The 51-year-old Englishman finished with a 4-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Bernhard Langer and playing partner Kevin Sutherland.

Thompson earns card: Michael Thomson won the Web.com Tour Finals’ Albertson Boise Open at Hillcrest Country Club to regain a PGA Tour card.

The 31-year-old Thompson finished at 23-under 261 and earned $180,000 in the second of four events that will determine 25 PGA Tour cards.
