Jiyai Shin wins in playoff

Jiyai Shin emerged victorious from a three-way sudden-death play-off to win the P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship.

The South Korean shot a superb seven-under-par 64 in her final round to take her into a shoot-out with Angela Stanford and Sun Young You.

And Shin held her nerve to beat her two rivals on the second hole to clinch her third LPGA Tour victory this year.

She had been seven strokes adrift on Sunday morning but played impressively all day to end level with Stanford and Sun on nine-under-par 204 before a brilliant 12-foot birdie on the 15th in the play-off.

The trio birdied the first play-off hole, the 18th, and Stanford missed a difficult birdie putt before Shin stroked home the clincher.
