Nanna Koerstz Madsen eagled the second playoff hole to win the Honda LPGA Thailand over Xiyu Lin. The win is the first career win for Koertz Madsen, and she is the first LPGA winner from Denmark.
Koerstz Madsen and Lin both finished regulation at 26-under par, a tournament record, and scored -5 and -6 for the final round respectively. Koerstz Madsen had bogeyed the 72nd hole, with Lin birdieing to force the playoff, but then went birdie-eagle in the playoff to win.
LPGA Tour winner has a nice ring to it. 🏆
