South Korea's Ahn Sun-Ju displayed nerves of steel to capture her first LPGA title on Sunday by winning the $1.5 million TOTO Japan Classic in a three-way playoff.
The 28-year-old calmly sank a five-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole after finishing the 54-hole tournament tied with a 16-under-par total of 200 alongside fellow Korean Lee Ji-Hee and American Angela Stanford.
A superb six-iron approach from 165 yards set up Ahn's coup de grace on the first extra hole after firing a final-round 67 in drizzly conditions at the Kintetsu Kashikojima Country Club in Mie prefecture, western Japan.
