( Yonhap ) The tournament was reduced to 54 holes after the scheduled second round was wiped out by heavy rains . Chun , also a runner - up at last year ' s Kingsmill Championship , finished the regulation at 14 - under 199 , tied with Jutanugarn and Hataoka . Jutanugarn had the best third round of the three with 66 , followed by Hataoka ' s 67 and Chun ' s 68 . The three went back to the 18 th hole for the first playoff hole . And Hataoka stiffed her second shot to about three feet above the hole , with Jutanugarn a few feet farther below the hole . Chun was farthest from the cup , and she missed her attempt just to the right . Jutanugarn drained her birdie putt , and Hataoka calmly made hers to extend the playoff without Chun . Chun , world No . 15 and the 2016 LPGA Rookie of the Year , was seeking her first LPGA win since the Evian Championship in September 2016 . Chun took a one - stroke lead into the final day at 11 - under , one better than Austin Ernst and Hataoka . The South Korean had four birdies against a bogey while missing a slew of birdie opportunities , and had to make a lengthy birdie attempt at the 17 th just to get into the playoff . This was Chun ' s second top - 10 finish in seven starts this year . She began the year at No . 5 in the world but has slipped to No . 15 through last week ' s rankings . jeeho @ yna . co . kr ( END )
