ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Jin Young Ko took advantage of a friend’s bad luck to win her second major title of the season on Sunday and reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the women’s world golf rankings.

Ko fired a four-under-par 67 in the rain-swept final round to win the Evian Championship by two shots with a 15-under total of 269.

Having already won the season’s first major, the ANA Inspiration in April, Ko closed out this victory after her playing partner, longtime leader and good friend Hyo Joo Kim lost control of the tournament with a triple bogey at the par-3 14th.

Ko took the two-shot lead she was given and added a birdie at the par-4 No. 17 to hold off strong finishes by the American rookie Jennifer Kupcho (66) and Shanshan Feng (68).
