Australia’s Grace Kim produced a sensational finish to win the Evian Championship as she beat world No 2 Jeeno Thitikul in a play-off on Sunday for her first major title.

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

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 deny Thitikul her first major despite another top-five finish.
