Nanna Koerstz Madsen, who had a nightmare finish at last year's Women's Open, eagled the second hole of a playoff to win the LPGA Thailand.

On 17, Koerstz Madsen parred, and Lin birdied. “I’m really proud,” Koerstz Madsen said last August. “I had a chance all the way till 18, also on 18 fairway. On 16, Koerstz Madsen bogeyed, and Lin parred. On the par-5 18, Koerstz Madsen missed an 8-footer for par, Lin birdied from 4 feet, and they returned to 18 for the first hole of the playoff. I believe that I can win out here, so that’s just what I been chasing for the last year.” It was actually fun playing the playoff with Janet at the end.

Lin closed with a 6-under 66 on the steamy Old Course at Siam Country Club.
