Megan Khang is the CPKC Women’s Open champion.
The American beat South Korea’s Jin Young Ko in a one-hole playoff on Sunday.
It’s the first LPGA Tour title of Khang’s career.
Khang had a three-shot lead heading into the fourth round but had a 2-over day as Ko shot 3 under to force the playoff.
Ko double bogeyed the par-4 18th hole and Khang made par to win the only LPGA Tour event in Canada.
Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., was the low Canadian, tying for 13th.
