LOS ANGELES - Despite being stressed about her game in general, Kim Hyo-joo rolled in a six-foot birdie putt at the first play-off hole to win the LPGA Ford Championship on March 30 ahead of American Lilia Vu.
The South Korean had nine birdies in her eight-under 64, the lowest round of the day at the Whirlwind Golf Club in Chandler, Arizona, taking her to a 22-under total of 266.
Overnight leader Vu carded a 68, but when they returned to the par-four 18th for the play-off, Kim put her approach six feet from the pin while Vu left herself more than 15 feet. The American's putt came up short and Kim sank hers to claim her seventh LPGA victory, and her first since 2023.
