Ariya Jutanugarn has won the LPGA's Kingsmill Championship for the second time in three years, making a birdie on the second hole of a playoff on Sunday.
Jutanugarn closed with a five-under 66 to match Nasa Hataoka (67) and In Gee Chun (68) at 14-under 199.
Jutanugarn and Hataoka both birdied the first extra hole, with Chun dropping out. Hataoka putted first on the second extra hole and missed badly before Jutanugarn rolled in a 15-footer for her eighth career victory.
“I love it here,” Jutanugarn said. “Every time the season start I just really want to come back here and play this tournament.”
Minjee Lee carded a final-round 68 to finish in a tie for 19th and along with Karrie Webb be the best-placed Australian. Webb closed with a 71 after shooting 68 in the opening two rounds.

Jutanugarn started Sunday two shots behind Chun and had a two-shot lead before making bogey at the par-5 15th.
Hataoka, playing with Chun in the final threesome, birdied No.15 to join Jutanugarn at 14 under, and Chun made a long birdie putt on the par-3 17th to also get to 14 under.
The tournament was cut from 72 holes to 54 when rain washed out play on Saturday.
Brooke Henderson closed with a 65 to finish a shot back. Megan Khang was fifth after her third successive 67.
