Japan’s Mao Saigo prevailed in a dramatic five-way playoff to win the Chevron Championship in Texas.
In what was the largest playoff in LPGA major history, Saigo birdied the first sudden death hole to edge out Lindy Duncan, Ariya Jutanugarn, Hyo-Joo Kim and Ruoning Yin.
Thailand’s Jutanugarn, a two-time major champion, had been heavy favourite but whiffed a chip on the final hole when requiring only a par to ensure a playoff at The Club at Carlton Woods.
And Saigo snatched the first major title of her career with a five-foot birdie putt back down the 18th.

• Major champ makes DRASTIC putting change to beat yips
“It is my first time to win this tournament,” Saigo said through a translator. “I was able to realise my dream and I’m very happy about this.
“I still have four more majors to go, and I want to shoot for number one in the world. I will do my best in the remaining four majors.”
