BELMONT, Mich. (AP) — Miyu Yamashita got into a playoff Sunday in the Meijer LPGA Classic when Lottie Woad’s three-foot par attempt lipped out to close regulation, then won with a three-footer of her own on the first extra hole.
Five strokes behind third-round leader Jing Yan and four back of Woad going into the day, the 4-foot-11 Yamashita shot an 8-under 64 to get to 17-under 271 at Blythefield Country Club.
“I didn’t think about like win today,” Yamashita said. “I just focused on playing just like every round. My putting was solid today and I was able to put together a really good round.”
The 24-year-old Japanese player birdied the par-5 18th in regulation and the playoff.
