Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand showcased her exceptional skills on the golf course by carding a remarkable 7-under 64 during the first round of the Evian Championship, propelling her to a share of the lead alongside Ingrid Lindblad of Sweden and Gemma Dryburgh of Scotland. Tavatanakit, a 24-year-old rising star, has already secured notable victories, including her first major win at the ANA Inspiration in 2021 and a triumph at the LPGA Thailand earlier this year.
The trio's impressive performance places them one stroke ahead of a competitive field that includes American Lauren Coughlin, former Evian champions Hyo Joo Kim and Lydia Ko, as well as talented players like Hye-Jin Choi, Gaby Lopez, and Ayaka Furue. Notable names such as Nelly Korda, defending champion Céline Boutier, and Women’s PGA Championship winner Amy Yang are also in the mix, vying for a shot at the prestigious title.
