Miyu Yamashita wins the Meijer LPGA Classic in a playoff after Lottie Woad’s 3-foot par try misses at the end of regulation. With the outcome tied going into the final moments, Woad attempts to save par from close range, but the putt lip-outs, forcing the tournament into an extra-hole playoff. In the playoff, Yamashita responds immediately by holing a 3-foot putt on the first extra hole to secure the victory. Multiple reports describe the decisive sequence as Woad’s unsuccessful par attempt on the final hole and Yamashita’s winning make from similar distance on the first playoff hole. The outlets agree the margin comes down to short putts and that the championship is decided on the first extra hole rather than extended beyond the initial tiebreaker. No other shots or additional playoff holes are reported as necessary, as Yamashita closes out the contest during the opening extra-hole attempt.
