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.
Yamashita won for the third time on the LPGA Tour after winning 13 times on the JLPGA. Last year, she won the Maybank Championship and major Women’s British Open and was the LPGA rookie of the year.
Wei-Ling Hsu and Yan Liu tied for third at 15 under. Minji Kang and Cassie Porter were 14 under. Yan had a 73 to tie for seventh at 13 under.
