I knew I needed to hit it a little bit harder than what I had all day.<\/p>\n "I don\u2019t often get my caddie to read my putt, but I pulled him in for the last hole, and we both saw the same line, so it was nice to have that confidence that I was seeing the correct line, and yeah, just stroked it and it went perfectly in the hole.\u201d<\/p>\n Ashok, who had the 36-hole lead, and Lin each closed with a 67 and were the first to post at 9-under 275. Green and Lin birdied the first playoff hole on the par-3 18th.<\/p>\n On the second extra hole at No.18, Lin hit into a bunker and blasted out to some 18 feet and missed the par putt. That left Green to tap in from two feet for her first LPGA<\/a> win since September 2019.<\/p>\n Green was emotional and wiping away tears after the win.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a long few years,\u201d Green said.<\/p>\n \u201cI was playing well last year but getting across the line's been really difficult. I\u2019m proud of myself. I\u2019m really happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Green won for the third time. She captured her lone major in the 2019 KPMG Women's PGA at Hazeltine, and followed that with a win at the Portland Classic that year.<\/p>\n She missed the cut last week at the Chevron Championship and talked to a sports psychologist this week.<\/p>\n This win is right up there with the others.<\/p>\n \u201cI think honestly this one is really important because I feel like this is just going to kickstart remembering how to \u2014 like learning to win,\u201d Green said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s tough to win golf tournaments. Sometimes you can play your best golf and it not be good enough. You\u2019ve just got to hang in there. I think this is honestly just as big as the first two.\u201d<\/p>\n Green finished second at the tournament last year and third the year before at Wilshire. She won $677,000 from the $4.5 million purse.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
