All three looked like they had enough speed to get in the hole.

Hee Jeong Lim started with two bogeys, then had back to back birdies.
Made another birdie to get to minus one for the day.
But what she has done too many times finished bogey, bogey.
Something she needs to fix, also she is sixty fifth in putting average.
She has usually finished in the top twenty five always before.

Wow! I thought that Minjee had made that putt.
Da Yeon Lee has a second chance to get the win.
What happened to Minjee Lee on the putt happened to Da Yeon Lee three times

I guess we had a first hand look as why Hye Jin Choi hasn't won a quite a while.

Interesting finish to the event. Da Yeon and Patty both got in the house at 8 under. Minjee also was at 8 under on the final green and had a ~15 footer to win. The putt stopped on the lip; how it didn't fall is beyond me.

Anyways, playoff. Tavatanakit ended up plugged in a greenside bunker and couldn't get up and down; the other two made par from off the green.

On the second playoff hole, Da Yeon could not save par, leaving Minjee with maybe a foot and a half for the win. But she missed! Holy crap! Two chances for Minjee to win and she missed both.

They changed the hole location. On the third playoff hole, Minjee hit her approach to about five feet. Da Yeon had maybe twenty. But Da Yeon NAILED it, and Minjee missed again. Win for Da Yeon, who was overcome with emotion. Unbelievable that the Aussie didn't win, but congrats to Da Yeon on her 8th career win!

When she lipped out that tap-in, she must have looked at the scoreboard and thought "WTH am I doing with these players" and folded up like a $3 suitcase.

********

Just finished watching the replay ... they got at least one hole right here, the 18th. 👌🏻 ... and what a pathetic finish by Minjee ... I wonder if a winner's interview of her in Korean would have been boring.

Congratulation to Da Yeon Lee for the big Tournament win.
Great birdie putt on the third overtime to get the win.
Great gesture by Minjee Lee to come over and give the emotional Da Yeon a big congratulation hug.

One moment I loved was when Da Yeon was standing with Ju Yeon In watching Minjee play the final hole. If Minjee made birdie there would be no playoff, and she had a great chance to do so. In put her arm around Da Yeon, who was like three heads shorter than Ju Yeon. You could tell Da Yeon was nervous and I think it really helped her that In was there to keep her calm.

A few more nice photos they posted after my initial post:
