Atthaya Thitikul won the JTBC Classic after a two-hole playoff with Nanna Koerstz Madsen. Thitikul shot a final-round 8-under par, and then had to wait over an hour to see if it would be enough to force a playoff. Madsen three-putted the final hole of regulation to fall back into a tie with Thitikul, who won with a bogey on the second playoff hole. They had finished at 16-under par for the tournament.
This was Thitikul’s first win on the LPGA, she is a rookie on the tour and is only 19 years old.
Here is the putt that Thitikul made on the 72nd hole, which turned out to be needed for force the playoff:
What a par 👏
