With a birdie on the final hole raising cries from the throngs of adoring fans ringing the green, riding Japanese star Nasa Hataoka won the 2018 TOTO Japan Classic for her second career LPGA win. Hataoka earned a two-stroke win over Spain’s Carlota Ciganda and Hataoka’s countrywomen Momoko Ueda and Saki Nagamine.

“I'm so proud. I'm so happy to win this event,” said Hataoka, who becomes the season’s second multiple winner. “Actually, I wanted to win this tournament before it began. I am really happy to accomplish it.”

Wales’ Becky Morgan secured her first professional title with a two shot victory in the Hero Women’s Indian Open. In her 18th year on tour, and after rounds of 72, 72, 68 and 69, for a total of 281, seven-under-par,  she could finally enjoy her moment in the sun.

“It’s taken me 18 years and it’s a mixture of excitement and relief that finally I have done it. I didn’t look at the scoreboard until the 18th green because I knew anything could happen. I knew I was doing fairly well, because I was playing well, but I kept to myself and let it happen,” said Morgan.

It took 76 holes, but Eun Jeong Seong (Yongin, Republic of Korea) eventually walked away the victor at the fourth annual Danielle Downey Credit Union Classic for the Symetra Tour rookie’s first professional win.

Seong and Stephanie Meadow (Jordanstown, Northern Ireland) were tied atop the leaderboard at 12-under par following the conclusion of 72 holes. They proceeded to play the par-3 18th in a sudden-death playoff format until a winner was decided.

Sweden’s Jenny Haglund made a birdie on the second play-off hole to claim her first Ladies European Tour title at the Lalla Meryem Cup in Rabat, Morocco.

Haglund shared a three-way tie for the 72-hole lead with overnight co-leader Sarah Kemp and the 2017 event champion Klara Spilkova on three-under-par 285, after firing rounds of 75, 72, 68 and 70 over the Blue Course at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam.

It took her 193 starts on the LPGA and then eight playoff holes, but Sweden’s Pernilla Lindberg broke through on Monday morning at the ANA Inspiration to claim her first LPGA victory. She dropped a brilliant 30-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole of the morning to stamp her long awaited signature LPGA moment.

“I just know I’m a grinder and I just felt this was mine and I’m going to do this,” said Lindberg immediately after the win. “I couldn’t believe that last one went in and Inbee didn’t hole hers and it’s mine.

American Lizette Salas sits in a tie with Korean players Eun-Hee Ji and In-Kyung Kim at 11-under par through 54 holes at the Kia Classic. Ji and Salas make up the final grouping of the day at 1:45 p.m., while Kim will play in front of them at 1:35 p.m. alongside Chinese Taipei’s Wei-Ling Hsu (-10).

Ji shot a 5-under par 67 to climb up the leaderboard - the 2009 U.S. Women’s Open champion will be aiming for her fourth career LPGA victory and first since the 2017 Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship.
