England’s Hall Holds Off South Africa’s Buhai In Playoff Win

England's Georgia Hall won the Portland Classic with a par at the second playoff hole, denying South African Ashleigh Buhai a first US LPGA title.

From the fairway at the second playoff hole, the par-four first that was the second toughest on the Columbia Edgewater course on the day, both contenders saw their approach shots land in the rough behind the green and had to pitch on. Hall made her five-foot par putt to pile the pressure on Buhai, who missed her short-range effort.

England's Hall, who added a second victory to the British Women's Open title she claimed in 2018, had a one-stroke lead going into the 72nd hole, but bogeyed the last to fall into the playoff.
