Nanna Koerstz Madsen prevails in Thailand playoff to win first LPGA title

Nanna Koerstz Madsen captured the Honda LPGA Thailand in extra holes on Sunday in Chonburi, Thailand, to become the LPGA's first Danish winner.

Madsen drained a 10-footer for eagle on the second playoff hole at Siam Country Club's Pattaya Course to eliminate China's Xiyu Lin and notch the first victory of her LPGA career.

"It's a dream come true," said Madsen, an LPGA member since 2018. "It was a crazy day; a lot of good things. ... I'm really excited to be standing with the trophy right now."

Madsen led Lin by four holes with three holes to play before dropping two shots down the stretch, including one after sending an 8-iron into the grandstands at par-5 18th and failing to get up and down for par.
