Nanna Koerstz Madsen wins the Honda LPGA Thailand on the LPGA Tour, in front of Xi Yu Lin in second position.
Nanna Madsen was ahead for a long time, but bogeyed her final hole and her opponent Xiyu Lin's birdie sent the two players into the playoff at 26-under-par.
Madsen played an outstanding Saturday round, but couldn't keep her game together on Sunday without making minor mistakes. An eagle start was followed by six birdies and three bogeys. Xiyu Lin, on the other hand, impressed with a consistently strong performance. She only recorded two bogeys in the entire course of the tournament. One of them she played in the final round on the 13th hole.
On the first hole of the playoff, both played a birdie and extended the tournament to another round on the 18th hole. Madsen landed the decisive shot on the par-5 second attempt. She laid the foundation for her final eagle and the tournament win with a long iron shot. Lin was unable to counter this strong performance on the second extra hole and finished the Honda LPGA Thailand in second place.
Melissa Reid rounds off the tournament in T51 place. The Englishwoman took home a final round of 70 at Siam Country Club. With a total score of -9 she finished 17 shots behind the leader.
