The Toto Japan Classic ended in dramatic fashion as home favorite, Rio Takeda, secured a first LPGA Tour title in a six hole playoff over American, Marina Alex.
After the tournament was reduced to 54 holes due to Tropical Storm Kong-Rey blowing through on Saturday, it was Takeda and Alex who fired five and six-under-par rounds of 67 and 66 to sit at 15-under in regulation play, with the duo heading down the par 5 18th for a playoff.
