Gulbis wins Evian Masters with birdie in playoff

"I usually can't reach that green in two," Gulbis said. "I hit a really good drive and hit my rescue club in. It was about 25 feet and I thought the eagle putt was in. Fortunately it ended about a foot away and I tapped it in. I wouldn't have wanted it to be much further than that."

Gulbis gave part of the credit for her win to a back injury two months ago which forced her to take a month off and make some adjustments.

"I had to change my golf swing because of my injury," she said. "I was kind of thinking this might be a blessing in disguise."

Wie pulled her opening shot out of bounds and started with a double bogey six. She had bogeys at the third, sixth and seventh -- and a birdie at the fifth where she holed a huge putt of about 70 feet -- to go out in 40. The teenager then battled back with a level par second nine of 36.

"I kept my head together," Wie said. "It all came down to today and there were a couple of stupid errors out there. I just have to keep the ball in play and use my head more and be patient with myself."

Recovering from a wrist injury, Wie said she was pleased with the round.

"I kept my head on today. I was very proud of myself," Wie said.
