Anannarukarn turns triple bogey disaster into play-off victory

The pair began final round tied for the lead with American Jennifer Kupcho and the same trio reached the 18th tee locked together on 16-under, only for Kupcho to make a costly bogey after pulling her approach into the water.

Both players made par on the first extra hole and another on the second was enough for Anannarukarn to secure her first LPGA Tour title after Talley missed the green with a badly mis-hit approach.

"Honestly I'm just speechless," Anannarukarn said after a final round of 70. "I was nervous but actually surprised at how I handled my nervous there. To win here is a special memory."

The Thai star began her round with birdies on the 1^st, 3^rd and 4^th holes but suffered a setback with a triple bogey seven at the par-4 6^th.

But Anannarukarn bounced back with birdies on the 8^th, 9^th and 13^th before dropping a further shot on 16. She then rolled in another birdie on 17 for a three under 70 and a spot in the play-off.

NSW’s Sarah Kemp shot a final round 70 to finish five shots off the pace in joint-eighth place at 11-under, one shot ahead of Victorian Su Oh, who finished T11.
