Japan's Mao Saigo wins LPGA Chevron Championship in playoff for first major title

Japan's Mao Saigo birdied the first extra hole to win a five-woman playoff and capture her first major title on Sunday by winning the LPGA Chevron Championship.

Saigo sank a tension-packed birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation to fire a final-round two-over par 74 at Carlton Woods and finish 72 holes on seven-under 281 just to reach the playoff.

At the 18th again in the playoff, Saigo sank a four-foot birdie putt to capture the crown.
