The ladies' fourth major of 2022 is here, folks. Welcome to Evian-les-Bains, France for the Amundi Evian Championship.
Minjee Lee came from 7 back last year to snag her first major at Evian, and it set off a solid run that's given her a second major (US Women's Open), the Cognizant Founders Cup and a decent argument that she's currently the best player on the LPGA.
Of course the rest of the field won't let that go unchallenged. At the very least we can expect Jin Young Ko, Nelly Korda, InGee Chun, Lydia Ko, Jennifer Kupcho, Leona Maguire, LET up-and-comer Linn Grant and several rookies to make runs at her. (To the best of my knowledge, Lexi Thompson isn't teeing it up this week.)
The hilly quirky Evian course will throw curves at the field as usual, and we'll get to see the French flair that always accompanies this event. It's just fun!
GC's live coverage is divided into two windows starting Thursday -- from 5am-7am ET and again from 9:30am-11:30am ET. (I'm guessing there's some Senior OPEN coverage around it this week.) But it's great to get some serious coverage for a ladies' major again, and I'm excited to watch this one.
