The 2018 Evian Championship was played 13–16 September at the Evian Resort Golf Club in Évian-les-Bains, France. It was the 25th Evian Championship (the first 20 played as the Evian Masters), and the sixth as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. The event was televised by Golf Channel and NBC Sports in the United States and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.

At the age of 40, Angela Stanford won her first major championship on her 76th appearance in a major. Four players tied for second place, a stroke behind, including Amy Olson who came to the last hole needing a par to win but made a double-bogey.[2]

gollark: I wrote this nice type signature:```rustfn solve(desired: Item, available: Vec<Item>, recipes: MultiMap<ItemType, Recipe>) -> (Vec<Recipe>, Vec<Item>)```

gollark: It'd probably be a bit more annoying, given constraints like "only X amount of items is available".

gollark: Which is apparently NP-hard, since someone managed to encode "SAT solving" or whatever in it.

gollark: Anyway, I'm aiming for final product + recipes + available items -> ingredients and list of crafting steps.

gollark: It has one?
