Yoo won the LPGA Tour's first major

Yoo won the LPGA Tour's initial of the season with steady play down the stretch, but she reached make traditional leap into Poppie's Pond only after Kim's mind-boggling miss on a single green minutes earlier.

"She's an excellent putter," Yoo said about Kim. "She usually doesn't miss that type of putt, but ... you  will never know after that happen."

Yoo, who earned her second career LPGA Tour victory, and Kim finished at 9 under, but Kim could have basically wrapped up her starting while using tap-in par putt. Kim could have struck the ball oddly, also it toured the lip in the cup before being released about the same Taylormade R9 Irons side it entered. The gallery gasped, and Kim raised her left hand to her mouth in disbelief.

Kim's unbelievable miss on the Dinah Shore course lowers in tournament lore after a thoroughly wacky final round where five players held the lead. Kim ended up one of the most consistent contender amid those wild momentum swings, going bogey-free through 17 holes.

"On the playoff hole, it is simply tough to kind of target what are you doing right now," Kim said. "Because I had been still a bit bummed (about) so what happened on 18, honestly."

Yoo and Kim totally 18th again inside playoff, and Kim's drive barely cleared the water, landing inside rough. She resulted in a birdie putt short in the fringe, and Yoo calmly reached the green before burying her winning putt.

Kim and Yoo shot 69 inside final Ping K15 Irons round. Top-ranked Yani Tseng finished third at 8 under with a disappointing final-round 73. Even after blowing a Sunday lead in the Kraft Nabisco to the second straight year, the Taiwanese star stood a opportunity to join the playoff on the 18th, but pushed a long birdie putt wide by an inch.

Kim had been incredibly steady until her miss, creating a 15-foot birdie putt about the 16th hole and a 20-footer for the 17th to destroy a three-way tie for your lead. Kim comfortably reached saving money for the 18th and barely missed a lengthy birdie putt.

Kim needed only a tap to preserve her lead with Tseng one stroke back around the 18th fairway. Kim lined up over it patiently, but somehow missed. She tapped in for a bogey that dropped her right discount golf clubs into a tie with Yoo. Tseng then barely missed her tying putt.

Defending champ Stacy Lewis closed strong using a 66 to finish in the four-way tie for fourth place with Amy Yang and late leaders Karin Sjodin ?a who shot a 74 after entering the final round even with Tseng ?a and Hee Kyung Seo, who a three-stroke add the trunk nine before bogeying her final four holes.
