EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — So much had happened in a chaotic final round of the Evian Championship — a spectator unwittingly picking up a stray ball, a pair of four-putts in the final group, a seven-way tie for the lead — that it was hard to know what to expect as Brooke Henderson walked down the fairway on the 72nd hole.<\/p>\n

The Canadian was in a share of the lead with LPGA rookie Sophia Schubert and had just had a lucky escape when her wild hook off the tee at the par-5 No. 18 flew into trees and bounced out to relative safety.<\/p>\n

Now in the middle of the fairway, could Henderson make birdie to win the second major title of her career, six years after her first at the Women’s PGA Championship in 2016 when she was only 18?<\/p>\n

Henderson handled the pressure, hitting her third shot to 8 feet and rolling in the putt for an even-par round of 71. She was soaked in champagne by fellow players after clinching a 1-stroke victory that certainly didn’t come easy.<\/p>\n

“Definitely not my best today,” Henderson said. “I just tried to stay patient and remind myself that I was still in it.<\/p>\n

“I made some clutch putt and shots down the stretch which really helped.”<\/p>\n
