When Céline Boutier of France returned home this week for the Evian Championship, she arrived at Évian-les-Bains as a different player than when she stepped onto home turf in 2018.

Boutier, a native of Clamart, is now an L.P.G.A. tour winner.

And even at 25, the third-year tour member brings new expectations to the major championship, not only as a young professional on the rise, but also as the world’s top-ranked woman from France at No. 71.

She has posted three top-10 finishes in 2019, including her inaugural L.P.G.A. victory in February at the ISPS Handa Vic Open in Australia. She also tied for fifth at this year’s United States Women’s Open in May.

“I’m pretty excited to go back home to play,” said Boutier, who lives in Dallas and works with the swing coach Cameron McCormick, swing guru of the PGA Tour winner Jordan Spieth.
