Australia's Grace Kim wins Lotte Championship after 3-way playoff with Yu Liu, Yu Jin Sung
Australian rookie Grace Kim won the LOTTE Championship on Saturday at breezy Hoakalei Country Club in Hawaii for her first LPGA Tour title, beating Yu Liu and Yu Jin Sung with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.
While Liu and Sung scrambled after hitting their second shots to the left of the green on the par-5 18th, the 22-year-old Kim went over the water to the right, then chipped to 8 feet to set up her birdie. Liu made a par and Sung had a bogey, hitting her third over the green and past Kim's second.
