GALLOWAY, N.J. – Duke women's golf graduate Celine Boutier claimed her seventh career Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) victory Sunday as she won the 2026 ShopRite LPGA powered by Wakefern at the Seaview Bay Course in Galloway.
Boutier, a 2016 Blue Devil graduate, carded a final round 5-under, 66, to come from four back to win the ShopRite LPGA for the second time in her career. She finished with rounds of 66, 72 and 66 for a 9-under, 204, to win by one stroke ahead of Arpichaya Yubol (205).
"Yeah, feels amazing," said Boutier. "I definitely feel like I didn't expect it to come this week, but I feel like my game has been coming around the last few weeks. So, very happy that it came today.
I feel like I played very steady and solid all week, and especially today, so super happy with the way my game is. And then very happy to finally get another win."
With the victory, Boutier earned a prize of $300,000 and pushed her career earnings to $9,504,023 on the LPGA. She moved from 46th to ninth in the Race to the CME Globe. Boutier collected her first victory since 2023 and last won the ShopRite LPGA in 2021.
Boutier was paired in the final round with her former Duke teammate Laetitia Beck, who collected a season-best tied for 14th finish with rounds of 63, 75 and 72 for a 3-under, 210. Boutier and Beck helped lead Duke to the 2014 NCAA Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma under head coach Dan Brooks.
Fellow Blue Devils Leona Maguire (T-9), Ana Belac (T-14) and Emma McMyler (T-40) all had stellar weeks on the LPGA Tour.
