Sei Young Kim Wins ANOTHER Playoff

If you failed to see the quit of the LOTTE Championship ultimate night time, do not worry. You'll be seeing it a lot!

Sei Young Kim

At the time I'm scripting this there's no video to be had, so I'll just give you the high factors.

The wind was hard at Ko Olina and it came down to three players -- Sei Young Kim, I.K. Kim, and Inbee Park. Sei Young become leading when the day began however couldn't hold the lead and the three gamers spent most of the day tied for the lead. That tie become in the end broken on the 17th hole once I.K. Kim bogeyed. Sei Young lipped in a tricky downhill putt, sending her and Inbee to 18 tied for the lead.

Then Sei Young made a big mistake. She busted one down the 18th and it ran out of fairway, through the rough, and into the lake brief of the inexperienced. After a drop, she barely were given her third across the lake and had a chip from the difficult for par.

Meanwhile Inbee hit her second to the back of the green, then hit an superb putt to round 3 inches -- a tap-in for par.

All Sei Young did changed into chip in on pinnacle of her to send the two into a playoff.

On their next trip down 18 (first playoff hole), both players laid up off the tee. Sei Young had 154 yards left and hit an 8-iron, which barely carried the water, hopped once onto the green and then straight into the hole for eagle. Inbee then had to hole her second from 153 yards, which didn't happen. Game over.

SUNDAY UPDATE: Here's the footage from golfchannel.com:

This is Sei Young's second LPGA victory. A couple of weeks lower back, whilst Sei Young had a danger to win the ANA Inspiration, I wrote:

But I think Sei Young Kim has to be the favorite now. You see, she won the 2015 Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic -- her only LPGA win -- in a playoff, as well as four of her five KLPGA Tour victories. Do you understand? She's only got 6 pro wins, and she won 5 of them in playoffs. That should make the rest of the field a bit nervous.
She didn't win that tournament... but now she's got 7 pro wins and she's won 6 of them, including both of her LPGA wins, in playoffs. Perhaps the LPGA players will want to consider letting her lead the tournament from now on, and just making sure she's behind when they finish.
