After Julien Guerrier’s filthy victory this weekend, Céline Boutier came to our aid in the BMW Ladies Championship. And in what way.
French Golf in total decline since the Olympics
Apart from the still too recent coronation of Julien Guerrier, only Céline Boutier came to blur our sweet memories of the Olympic Games after her victory in the Aramco Team Series. Indeed, last August, Victor Perez sent a comeback from space to the Olympics, punctuated by a sublime fourth place in chocolate. But the French golfer obviously has competition in this area.
Indeed, entered in the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea, Céline Boutier was keen to continue her form which was a little too good for our taste. It is therefore on the course of the Seowon Valley Country Club that the French number 1 once again demonstrated the full extent of her talent. After a complicated start to the course, Boutier concluded with two birdies, which allowed him to reposition himself. Before the last round, the native of Clamart is six shots behind Hannah Green, first in the ranking. But a crazy rise will derail everything, or almost.
Disillusionment on the green of Céline Boutier… facing Green
With a cheeky card of -6 for the last round, the Frenchwoman takes the lead in the rankings. A provisional first place, certainly, but which raises our tension to 20. From then on, hope becomes immense on the French side. And this is precisely where we intervene.
The heads of the list still have to play, and Céline Boutier awaits their performances. The more stressful you die. Very quickly, all eyes were on the Australian Hannah Green. However, the native of Perth had a worse finish than the Frenchwoman, but enough to finish one step ahead of her. Phew.
As during the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore last March, Céline Boutier saw a title slip away from her because of Hannah Green. Fortunately, the Australian came to prevent the first victory of the season for the French number 1 on the LPGA Tour. Thank you Hannah. For her part, Céline leaves South Korea with her share of regrets. See you at the CME Group Tour Championship final in a month.
“I had a lot of opportunities on the first part of the course, but I didn’t manage to convert them” Céline Boutier
