Kim gets win in LPGA playoff

BELMONT, Mich. — Sei Young Kim won the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sunday for her second victory of the year, beating Carlota Ciganda with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

After bogeying the 18th in regulation to drop into the playoff, the 23-year-old Kim rebounded on the par-4 hole in the playoff.

On the extra hole, the South Korean player hit a 124-yard shot from the deep left rough — so deep that she momentarily lost her ball after looking away — that ran onto the green and settled at 3 1/2 feet.

She finished with a 3-under 68 at Blythefield to match Ciganda at 17-under 267.
