BELMONT, Mich. — Miyu Yamashita got into a playoff Sunday in the Meijer LPGA Classic when Lottie Woad's 3-foot par try lipped out to close regulation, then won with a 3-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, Yamashita shot an 8-under 64 to get to 17-under 271 at Blythefield Country Club. The 24-year-old ******* anese player birdied the par-5 18th in regulation and the playoff.
"I had really good feeling," the 4-foot-11 Yamashita said. "I'm really happy to win."
Woad had a 68, holing out from a bunker for birdie on the 17th before running into trouble on the 467-yard 18th.
"Felt like I hit an OK putt," the 22-year-old English player said. "Obviously, lipped out on the high side."
