Nanna Koerstz Madsen began the final round in Thailand with an eagle and ended her day the same way, draining a 10-foot putt on the second playoff hole against Xiyu “Janet” Lin, to secure her first LPGA title. Koerstz Madsen became the first player from Denmark to win on tour.
“It’s amazing. It’s a dream come true,” said Koerstz Madsen, who along with Lin set a new scoring record of 26-under 262 at the Honda LPGA Thailand.
China’s Lin, who was also looking for her first LPGA title, birdied her last two holes in regulation as well as the two playoff holes. Lin closed with a 6-under 66 on the steamy Old Course at Siam Country Club.
