She missed a four-foot birdie putt on the final hole to post a nine-under overall score at the 54-hole event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To have a chance to win today is definitely something very special,&#8221; said Boutier, the 32-year-old French player who won the same event five years ago.<\/p>\n<p>        Twitter<\/p>\n<p>                This content is provided by Twitter, which may be using cookies and other technologies.<br \/>\n                To show you this content, we need your permission to use cookies.<br \/>\n                You can use the buttons below to amend your preferences to enable Twitter cookies or to allow those cookies just once.<br \/>\n                You can change your settings at any time via the <a href=\"#privacy-options\">Privacy Options<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>                Unfortunately we have been unable to verify if you have consented to Twitter cookies.<br \/>\n                To view this content you can use the button below to allow Twitter cookies for this session only.<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"#\" class=\"ui-consent-roadblock-body__link ui-consent-roadblock-permanently\" data-single-click-vendor-name=\"twitter\" data-show-on-fallback=\"false\" data-testid=\"consent-roadblock-allow\">Enable Cookies<\/a><br \/>\n                <a href=\"#\" class=\"ui-consent-roadblock-body__link ui-consent-roadblock-once\" data-single-click-vendor-name=\"twitter\" data-testid=\"consent-roadblock-allow-once\">Allow Cookies Once<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a great tournament, very special for me, so really excited to be able to have another win here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yubol, who was penalized one shot in the second round Saturday for going over her maximum time, birdied the last two holes for a 66. It was her second runner-up finish of the year, having finished four shots behind Nelly Korda in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh, 25, finished third after a final-round 67, followed by Joo among four players who tied for fourth. Ireland had two players in the top 10 with Leona Maguire finishing tied-ninth on four under.<\/p>\n<p>Boutier finished the front nine with two straight birdies to reach seven under, and that gave her a share of the lead when Joo made bogey on the par-four eighth. Boutier then hit her approach to four feet for birdie on the 10th. Joo caught her with a birdie on the ninth but could not keep up the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sdc-article-image__item\" loading=\"lazy\" intrinsicsize=\"768x432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/skysports-celine-boutier-lpga-tour_7262596.jpg\"   alt=\"Celine Boutier holds up the trophy after winning\" data-testid=\"article-image-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>        Image:<br \/>\n        Celine Boutier holds up the trophy after winning<\/p>\n<p>Boutier now has seven career LPGA titles and 12 worldwide.
