EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, July 27 (UPI) -- Forty-three-year-old Helen Alfredsson beat a couple of the LPGA Tour's youngsters in a playoff Sunday and won the Evian Masters in France.
Alfredsson shot a 5-under-par 67 in the final round, tying Na Yeon Choi (66) and Angela Park (71) at 15-under-par 273.
The Swedish veteran and the 20-year-old Choi birdied the first extra hole and moved on after Park, 19, dropped out with a par. Alfredsson needed two more birdies before eliminating Choi.
"Age doesn't seem to be that big a deal," Alfredsson said. "It's a very emotional event for me. I've had nothing but great memories here. I just love this place. Somebody's looking after me for this to be my next win."
Jin Joo Hong (67) finished fourth at 13-under 275. Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa (68) was next at 276.
Hee Young Park (68), Cristie Kerr (69) and Shi Hyun Ahn (70) shared sixth place at 277.
