Jiyai Shin wins LPGA Tour play-off after final 64

Jiyai Shin shot a final round of seven-under-par 64 to post the clubhouse target which no could bet. She then accounted for Angela Stanford and Sun Young Yoo at the second hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the LPGA Tour's P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship.
Shin trailed by seven shots at the beginning of the day but rallied to win her third LPGA Tour event of the year Sunday. She made a birdie on No. 15, the second play-off hole, after Stanford missed a longer putt for birdie.
The three players finished at 9-under 204 for the 54-hole event at Pinnacle Country Club.
Shin posted her final-round score around 12:30 p.m., then had to wait a few hours for everyone else to finish. Yoo birdied No. 18 to tie for the lead, and Stanford qualified for the play-off with a dramatic 18th-hole eagle
