Sei Young Kim Holes Out From Fairway to Win in Hawaii

KAPOLEI, Hawaii — Sei Young Kim holed out from 154 yards for eagle to win the LPGA Tour's Lotte Championship on the first hole of a playoff Saturday with Inbee Park.

"This is probably the second most memorable shot for me," Kim said through a translator. "In 2013, I won a tournament, which had the biggest prize money on KLPGA. I won that tournament by making a hole-in-one on 17, so that was probably my most memorable shot. Sorry."

Her third most memorable shot might have come on the 18th in regulation.

Moments after sinking a sneaky par putt on 17 to stay even with Park, Kim hit her drive into the water.
