: Megan Khang of the United States broke through for her maiden Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour title with a playoff victory over Korea’s Jin Young Ko at the CPKC Women’s Open on Sunday.
On the first extra hole, Ko hit a wayward drive and had to take a penalty drop for an unplayable lie, while Khang nailed her tee shot straight down the fairway. Ko hit her third shot into a greenside bunker and wound up with double bogey, allowing Khang to seal the win with a two-putt for par. The winner’s cheque of US$375,000 took Khang’s season earnings past the million-dollar mark with US$1,203,340. She has been in great form this year, missing just two cuts in 16 starts with a previous season-best finish of T3 at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
