Ciganda survives meltdown to win in Korea (Reuters)

INCHEON, South Korea (Reuters) - Carlota Ciganda survived a late-round meltdown to beat an equally error-prone Alison Lee in a playoff at the $2 million KEB Hana Bank Championship on Sunday.

Spaniard Ciganda, a three-times winner on the Ladies European Tour and Order of Merit champion in 2012, squandered a four-shot lead with five holes to play but found herself in a playoff after Lee failed to par the last.

Korean-American Lee again found trouble on the 18th in the playoff, missing the fairway with her drive and second shot, before almost making birdie with a monster putt.
