Lang lands 1st LPGA title with playoff birdie binge
BRITTANY Lang won the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic in Waterloo, Ontario, on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour title, birdieing the par-5 18th three straight times in a playoff.
Lang missed a birdie attempt on the hole in regulation, leaving her tied with Hee Kyung-seo, Park Inbee and Choi Chella at 16-under 286. Choi was eliminated on the first extra hole, and Park dropped out on the second.
Lang closed with her second straight 67, Choi had a 63, Seo a 67, and Park a 69.
"I just tried to stay down in the putt and have nice tempo," Lang said. "I haven't been in this position much. I'm just trying to learn.
"I can't believe I finally won. I've had my chances and I still can't believe I did it."
Lang, Seo and Park, playing together in the final threesome at Grey Silo, all had a chance to win in regulation, but settled for pars on the finishing hole to set up the playoff.
Stacy Lewis, a two-time winner this year, and US Women's Open champion Ryu Yeon-so shot 64 to share fifth at 15 under. Lewis opened with a 72, then shot 64-69-64.
China's Feng Shanshan, coming off a major victory two weeks ago in the LPGA Championship, was another stroke back along with Anna Nordqvist. Feng had a 66, and Nordqvist a 67. Michelle Wie tied for 68th at 3 over after shooting a 74.
