Ariya Jubanugarn dramatically rubbed a chip in the final adjustment hole before losing in a five-way play-off while Mao Saigo won the Chevron Championship after an extraordinary completion in Texas.
Jutanugarn tried to dive into the 18th green from the rough adjacent, but the ball just moved an inch issue.
She continued to suffer a six bold to lose her supremacy with a stroke, fall to seven under and slide into an overtime shooting with Saigo, Hyo-Joo Kim, destroying Yin and Lindy Duncan in the forefront of the season.
Yin, Duncan and Saigo all nailed Birdie Putts to the Green Final to reach the play-off but Kim lost one of his own he would have ultimately seen at the time of adjustment after the strange moment of Jutanugarn.
The only required play-off hole was also filled with chaos as Yin failed to turn an eagle effort that would have seen him take the trophy and then saw the later bird look at the edge.
After Jutanugar and Kim also destroyed their screams of birds, Saigo – who held together – the leader heading to the last round, but then shot a two -b 74 – Drenoi to secure the victory of her daughters in the LPGA Tour, after six in Japan Tour, was a major.
Jutanugarn is lost in the third major title
Jutanugarn was within the touching distance of a large third and first in seven years, after women’s Open 2016 and 2018 US Women Open, only for her late mistake – when nerves were probably set for a player who has not won an event since 2021 – to cost her.

The 29-year-old had made two birds and one eagle in her first eight holes to open a two-stroke lead before Bogeys in nine and 13 put their backs, although a number of savings surrounding flocks that kept it under control while many of its rivals, including Saigo and Yin, stuttered.
Duncan recorded successive birds at 13 and 14 to win a portion of the top eight under, only to record Bogeys in a row in 15 and 16 after her hopes for a girls’ great seemed to have evaporated.
Woe to Jutanugarn’s misery in 18 let Duncan come back inside, and the American had an eagle blow from off the Green to win the title, only to slip into the past of the hole and leave a complex bird blow to force her way to the play-off.
Duncan did Bogey during the oversized schedule.
Champion Nellly Cord defenders for back-to-back titles were mainly destroyed by a five-like opening round

Champion Protection and World No. 1 Nelly Korda ended up in a tie for the 14th in two under her hopes to get back back to the day of opening, when she shot a five-top 77, but also serrated by a double-sided nine back during her third round.
Korda – Still to win an event this season after seven wins in 2024 – scored a two -year -old in the last day.
