Counting Circles, Not Bogeys — Haeran Ryu's Evian Breakthrough
from The LPGA Edge
Kent Paisley and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard review the 2026 Evian Championship, where Haeran Ryu won a playoff over Brooke Henderson for her second major of the season — the first time in LPGA history two players have each won multiple majors in the same year. Scottie, fresh off the flight home from Evian-les-Bains, brings the on-site read on the finish and a Solheim Cup scoop from his connecting flight; Kent brings the numbers, breaking down Henderson's six-eagle weekend (three on Sunday, including an ace) and a tightening Player of the Year race between Nelly Korda and Ryu. Secondary threads: Lydia Ko's caddie situation for the week (why her regular caddie stayed on Lindy Duncan's bag instead), a running debate over whether the LPGA is seeing "too many 60s" lately, and Solheim Stock Watch — team-points math for both sides off Scottie's spotting of several prospects on his flight out of Geneva. Kent's hot take: he pushes back hard on the idea that players are under any obligation to talk to media after a tough round, arguing it's core to being a professional athlete — Scottie disagrees. Plus a lighthearted Major Poker recap and the hosts' running bragging-rights tally.CHAPTERS0:00 — Show Open9:41 — Henderson's six-eagle weekend13:36 — Player of the Year race tightens14:53 — Do players owe the media anything?25:11 — Lydia Ko's caddie shuffle29:25 — Too many 60s?33:21 — Solheim Stock Watch51:15 — Major Poker & sign-offLinks:The Edge WebsiteThe Edge YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@golf.theedgeshowSubscribe to The Edge Hosted on Acast.
