Thailand's Kusuma ends 10-year title drought with play-off victoryHappy ending: Kusuma Meechai celebrates with the CTBC Ladies Classic trophy. Jiangsu: Kusuma Meechai picked up her first victory in a decade on Friday when the Thai veteran beat compatriot Pakin Kawinpakorn in a second-hole play-off to win the CTBC Ladies Classic on the China LPGA Tour. With Pakin (70) and Kusuma (68) deadlocked at five-under 211 through 54 holes at Shanghai Silport Golf Club, the Sa Kaeo native ended the contest when she sank a three-foot birdie in the second extra hole on the par-five 18th. China's Shi Yuli (70) and Zeng Liqi (70) finished one shot out of the play-off, while Cao Xinyu (69) was the top amateur a shot further back. I couldn't ask for more because on the front nine I had a triple bogey and then I had a lot of birdies coming in.
