After seeing a five-shot lead slip away in the final round, Ashleigh Buhai still managed to secure a first major title at the Women's British Open.
Buhai kept her composure to beat In Gee Chun -- and the setting sun -- in a playoff at Muirfield on Sunday for her first career victory in an LPGA Tour event.
"I was surprisingly calm," Buhai said about the clutch bunker shot that secured the victory. "My caddie said to me on the last one, I don't want to brag, but she said 'Show them why you're No. 1 in bunkers this year.' So, you know, she gave me the confidence. Maybe it's got something to do with Muirfield and South Africans and bunker shots."
Both players missed long birdie putts on the 18th as they settled for a playoff after finishing on 10-under 274.
