Gallant Aussie Steph Kyriacou denied maiden golf major

*********** golf prodigy Steph Kyriacou has fallen excruciatingly short of winning a maiden major in a dramatic finish at the Evian Championship in France.

Kyriacou led by a shot with two holes to play only to watch on as Ayaka Furue produced an astonishing finish to bury her mental demons and claim an overdue first major title.

The ********* winner conjured three straight birdies from 14 to 16 on Sunday before draining a brilliant eagle on the last ***** to deny Kyriacou by a shot.

Furue, seemingly out of it after falling three shots behind early on the back nine, ultimately played the last five holes in five under to record a final-round six-under 65.While the 24-year-old will savour the greatest moment of her career, Kyriacou will likely have nightmares at letting a golden opportunity slip with just one blemish.

The 23-year-old led by a shot teeing off on the penultimate ***** but chunked her chip shot after leaving her approach short on 17 to allow Furue to draw level with a birdie.

The inspired ********* then denied Kyriacou the chance to force a playoff with her crazy eagle at the last.
