Ariya Jutanugarn has radically won a chip in the last settlement hole before losing in a five -case dam match while Mao Saigo won the Chevron championship after a remarkable finish in Texas.
Jutanugarn tried to lie on the 18th green of the rough adjacent, but the ball has moved only an inch question.
She continued to suffer from a Bogey Six to lose her advance at a blow, to fall at seven money and to slip into a shooting in overtime with Saigo, Hyo-Joo Kim, Ruoning Yin and Lindy Duncan during the first major of the season.
Yin, Duncan and Saigo all nailed Birdie Putts on the last green to reach the playoffs, but Kim missed one of his family who would have seen him victorious in the regulatory time after the bizarre of Jutanugarn.
The only damage hole required was also filled with chaos because the yin failed to convert an eagle effort which would have seen it take the trophy and then saw the birdie following the lip look.
After Jutanugarn and Kim also wasted their sliced shouts, Saigo – who held the co -leader before the final round but then pulled two against 74 – his to ensure that his young victory during the LPGA tour, after six on the LPGA tour of Japan, was major.
Jutanugarn is missing the third major title
Jutanugarn was at a touching distance from a third major and a first in seven years, after the 2016 women’s open and the 2018 American women, only for his late error – when the nerves may have settled for a player who has not won an event since 2021 – to cost him.

The 29 -year -old young woman had done two birdies and an eagle on her first eight holes to open a two -stroke advance before the bogeys to nine and 13 years old had put her back, although a certain number of clutch saves herself who kept her under the control while many of her rivals, including Saigo and Yin, stammered.
Duncan recorded successive birdies at 13 and 14 to obtain a share of the head at eight less, to then record the Bogeys consecutive to 15 and 16 because his hopes of a first major seemed to have evaporated.
Jutanugarn’s misfortune at 18 let Duncan come back, however, and the American had an Off the Green eagle putt to win the title, only to slip the hole and leave a delicate birdie to make his way in the play-off.
Duncan made Bogey in overtime.
