Maiden LPGA title for Ahn

SOUTH Korean Ahn Sun-ju clinched her maiden LPGA Tour title after prevailing in a three-way playoff at the co-sanctioned Toto Japan Classic in Shima yesterday.

The 28-year-old birdied the first hole of the sudden-death shootout to edge out compatriot Lee Ji-hee and American Angela Stanford to claim what was also her 20th title on the Japan Tour. Ahn carded a final-round 5-under 67 to join Lee (66) and Stanford (67) at the top with identical totals of 16-under 200. Second-round leader Jenny Shin carded 70 to finish one stroke behind. Ahn, who turned professional in 2010, became the third non-member of the US-based circuit to win an LPGA event this season, after compatriot Chun In-gee and Canada’s Brooke Henderson.
