THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) --- Mao Saigo of Japan won the Chevron Championship
on Sunday for her first major title, making a 3-foot birdie putt on the first
hole of a five-way playoff.
Saigo birdied the par-5 18th in regulation for a 2-under 74, leaving her tied
with Hyo Joo Kim, Ruoning Yin, Ariya Jutanugarn and Lindy Duncan. They finished
at 7-under 281 at The Club at Carlton Woods.
Saigo won the 18th after Yin and Jutanugarn had birdie tries lip out.
Jutanugarn bogeyed the 18th in regulation after stubbing her third short only
inches.
Saigo won for the first time on the LPGA Tour. She was the tour's rookie of the
year last season.
