Evian: Australia's Grace Kim produced a sensational finish to win the Evian Championship as she beat world number two Jeeno Thitikul in a play-off on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Kim made an eagle on the 18th hole to pull level with Thitikul on 14-under, with the Thai golfer missing a birdie putt that would have sealed victory.

Kim found herself in trouble on the first play-off hole after an errant second shot forced her to take a drop, but she miraculously chipped in for an improbable birdie.

With Thitikul sinking a birdie to extend things, the pair went to a second extra hole.

This time Kim snatched the title with an eagle to secure her first major after a dramatic finale.

English amateur Lottie Woad took third place alongside Australia's Minjee Lee after finishing a stroke behind.
