Park downs Matthew in playoff for LPGA Championship

Wegmans LPGA Championship - Final Round

World number one Park In-Bee won her second major title of the year Sunday, downing Catriona Matthew at the third playoff hole to win the LPGA Championship.

The sudden-death playoff made a long day even longer, coming after the field completed 36 holes in a marathon finish made necessary after rain washed out play on Thursday.

After both players parred the first two playoff holes — the 18th and 10th — they returned again to 18 — the same hole that Park bogeyed in regulation to fall into a tie with Matthew on five-under 283.

Needing only a par to win after Matthew hit her tee shot into the rough, Park sealed her fourth win of the season with a birdie.
