EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (Reuters) - Sweden's Anna Nordqvist won the Evian Championship after beating American Brittany Altomare in a playoff on Sunday.

It was the 30-year-old Nordqvist's second major title after she claimed the LPGA Women's Championship in 2009. Last year, the Swede lost out on the U.S. Women's Open title after being given a controversial penalty in a playoff.
