In each of her two previous LPGA Tour victories, Na Yeon Choi birdied the last hole to win.
It took a little bit longer at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, but she did it again.
Choi made a 2½-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to beat fellow South Koreans In-Kyung Kim and Song-Hee Kim and American Christina Kim.
"As I was walking toward the green today, I was thinking about how I had won the last two tournaments and I said to myself, 'Maybe I can do it again," she said through an interpreter.
Choi had rounds of 64, 67, 68 and 71 to finish at 14-under 270. It took a gutty 15-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to even extend her day after she had blown what had at one time been a five-stroke lead.
