  • Danish golfer Nanna Koerstz Madsen finished tied for 59th at The Amundi Evian Championship.
  • She ended the tournament one stroke over par after a final round of two over par.
  • The victory went to South Korea's Ryu Hae-ran, who secured her second consecutive major win.

Danish golfer Nanna Koerstz Madsen concluded her participation in the French major tournament, The Amundi Evian Championship, far from the top positions. The 31-year-old player struggled to find her rhythm throughout the prestigious LPGA Tour event.

In the final round on Sunday, Madsen managed birdies on four holes but was ultimately hampered by several errors. A costly double bogey on the 18th hole, where she required seven strokes, resulted in a score of two over par for the day. Combined with her first-round score of one under par, she finished the tournament at one stroke over par overall.

This performance placed Madsen in a tie for 59th place, making her the sole Danish participant to complete the event. She finished a significant 20 strokes behind the tournament winner, South Korea's Ryu Hae-ran.

Ryu Hae-ran's victory marked her second consecutive major championship win, following her triumph at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship just two weeks prior. Madsen also competed in that event, finishing tied for 42nd. The total prize money for The Amundi Evian Championship was $9.1 million, approximately 60 million Danish kroner.
