Ariya makes it 15 different winners from 15 events
Print Edition
Ariya Jutanugarn made it 15 different winners in 15 events on the LPGA Tour this year when she triumphed in a three-way playoff at the Kingsmill Championship in Virginia on Sunday.
Ariya rolled in a 12-foot birdie at the second extra hole to beat Japan’s Nasa Hataoka, after the pair had eliminated South Korean Chun In-gee with matching birdies at the first extra hole at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg. In a tournament shortened to 54 holes due to wet weather, Ariya shot a closing 5-under-par 66 for a 14-under 199 total. It is the first time since 1991 that the season has gone so long without a repeat champion, according to the LPGA Tour. Former world No. 1 Ariya became the second Thai winner on the LPGA Tour this year after her older sister Moriya claimed the LA Open in April. South Korean remains the dominant nation on the LPGA circuit with four wins this season, while three have been claimed by Americans.
