Ayaka Furue broke through with her first major championship victory in style with three birdies and an eagle over the last five holes to win the Amundi Evian Championship. With the victory, Furue earned $1.2 million, bringing her season-earnings total $2,444,717 this season. The 24-year-old now has $5,039,882 in career earnings.
While Australia’s Stephanie Kyriacou ultimately came up short, her solo second earned her a $752,439 payday.
American Lauren Coughlin tied for third at the Chevron Championship and fourth at the Evian, giving her more than $850,000 in two starts, nearly twice what she made all season last year.
