If, during the seven months going from the first tournament of the season, at the end of January, to the FM Championship at the end of August, the player who celebrated her 31st birthday on November 10 only appeared once in the top 20 (2nd of HSBC Women’s World Championship in Malaysia on March 3), the last few weeks have been much more successful. At the end of an autumn tour crowned with a victory over the Ladies European Tour in China,Aramco Team Series Shenzhen on October 6, it now has three more. Ninth in China (Buick LPGA Shanghai), 2nd in South Korea (BMW Ladies Championship) and 8th in Florida (The Annika), without forgetting a 12th place in the meantime in Malaysia (Maybank Championship), she has lined up in her last six outings (including the LET tournament) 22 cards under or in par, in… 22 games! “I think it’s possible to do better, but I definitely feel confident with my game and the direction it’s taking”she emphasized at a press conference a month ago.
As a result of these great performances, Céline Boutier climbed a few steps in the world rankings and the order of merit of the American circuit. She who had left the top 10 of the Rolex Rankings on September 23, after having spent more than a year there since her triumph in Évian in July 2023, returned there again, and now occupies 8th place. During the last Solheim Cupshe was even the highest ranked European in the world ranking. As for the Race to the CME Globeshe moved up to 16th place, and if she is significantly behind the first, she retains, like all the participants in the final of the circuit, a chance of winning, since the winner of the CME Group Tour Championship will automatically be crowned champion of the Race.
