Canada’s Henderson falls in playoff to Korea’s Ryu at Evian Championship

Brooke Henderson’s charge for a third major championship fell just short.

The Canadian lost the Evian Championship in a playoff against South Korea’s Haeran Ryu in a playoff on Sunday in France.

Henderson came back from down seven shots to begin the day, forcing the extra hole with an eagle on 18. However, she settled for par while replaying the hole in extra time, while Ryu made birdie for the win.

It marks Ryu’s second straight major victory after she also won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last month.

Henderson, meanwhile, played in the final group each major with Ryu as she looked to add to her wins at the 2016 Women’s PGA and 2022 Evian.

And she nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback in France, firing a 64 that included a hole-in-one on eight and two other eagles.

However, she faltered in the playoff hole when she missed her drive left, forcing her to lay up and missing the green. Ryu smoked her drive down the middle of the fairway and hit the green with her second before converting the two-putt birdie to win.
