The 22-year-old Thai star rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole at the Kingsmill Course in Williamsburg, Virginia, to pip Japanese teen Nasa Hataoka for the title. Ariya, who had finished the second round two shots off the lead, produced a blistering final round 66 to earn a spot in the playoff. But Ariya's long-range birdie left the Japanese needing to roll in her effort to take it back to the 18th tee, which she duly did. Chun was ousted after missing her birdie putt. Ariya fired her second shot to almost the same area of the 18th green, while Hataoka was left with an awkward putt from the fringe.
