In 2017, the Evian Championship was nothing short of extraordinary, as Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist bested America’s Brittany Altomare at the first playoff hole, capturing the fifth and final major of the season.
Below are some of my shots from the sensational event, which takes place annually in Évian-les-Bains, France.
Enjoy!
