Yoo edges Kim in play-off

Updated April 02, 2012 11:41:10

South Korea's Yoo Sun-young rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off to beat compatriot Kim In-kyung and win the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Yoo, who tied Kim at 9-under-par after 72 holes, birdied the par-five 18th at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, to claim her first major title.

Kim squandered a chance to win the first women's major of the year in regulation when she missed a one-foot par putt at the final hole.

Karrie Webb was the best of the Australian contingent in a five-way share of 14th place on 4-under with countrywoman Katherine Hull a stroke further back.
