SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) -- Brittany Altomare won the Guardian Retirement Championship on Sunday at windy Sara Bay, beating Denmark's Nicole Broch Larsen with a birdie on the fifth hole of a playoff.
Altomare closed with a 2-under 70 to match Broch Larsen at even-par 70. Broch Larsen had a 75.
''It is an incredible feeling,'' Altomare said. ''I feel like I am on a high.''
After Altomare and Broch Larsen each parred the par-5 18th four times before Altomare broke through for her first career victory with a 4-foot birdie putt.
''The moment that ball went in, it was almost like a relief like, 'I did it' finally,'' Altomare said.
