Hole n ° 5 of the Tranquilo Golf Course, a par 3 of 160 meters. Céline Boutier takes out her 4 iron and… sends the ball straight into the hole! Unfortunately, the exploit does not seem to have been filmed by American television. “I am super happy. I had already made a hole in one eight years ago when I was an amateur. It was time to make another one ”, smiled the French n ° 1, coming out of 18. After a fanfare start (two birdies and an eagle on the first 7 holes), the 26-year-old player was less successful on the return (three bogeys and a birdie) and signed a card of 69, synonymous with 4e provisional place, two shots from Canada's Brooke Henderson and South Korean Inbee Park.

Céline Boutier's prowess has also served a noble cause. With this hole in one, CME Group (the world's leading stock exchange company) will donate $ 20 to St Jude Children's Research Hospital, which specializes in the fight against childhood cancer. In 000, the LPGA Tour scored 2019 holes in one by 32 different players, raising a total of $ 31 for pediatric cancer treatment.
