The 19-year-old Thai rookie closed with a 68 to reach 17-under and enter a playoff against American Danielle Kang.
“On the second hole (of the) playoff, I had a chance to make a birdie, because it was not that far. Then, in my mind, I just told myself, ‘Do your best, even it's not going in. Just do the best you can.’", she said after her win.
