Pettersen hits stride to take Safeway title
Suzann Pettersen overcame a nine-stroke deficit with a 7-under 64 and beat Choi Na-yeon with a par on the first hole of a playoff to win the LPGA Safeway Classic on Sunday
In the playoff, Choi's second shot on the par-4 18th went into the water to the right of the green, and she missed a putt for bogey before Pettersen sank her winning putt at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Oregon.
Pettersen, coming off a victory on August 7 in the European Tour's Ladies Irish Open at Killeen Castle, won her second LPGA Tour title of the year and eighth overall.
The Norwegian star jumped to No. 2 in the world rankings behind Chinese Taipei's Tseng Yani.
Choi, from South Korea, finished with a 73 to match Pettersen at 6 under.
Choi birdied the par-4 17th to take a one-stroke lead, but dropped a shot after leaving a chip well short on the final hole to force the playoff.
In 2009, Pettersen came close to winning at Pumpkin Ridge, but settled for second after MJ Hur birdied the second hole of a playoff.
