South Korean beats Taiwanese in
LPGA Tour play-off

Second-year pro Ji Young Oh, 20, of South Korea won her first LPGA Tour event on Sunday, the State Farm Classic at Panther Creek Country Club, Springfield in Illinois.
She beat 19-year-old Taiwanese rookie Yani Tseng at the first hole of a sudden-death play-off..
Tseng, the leader coming into Sunday, chipped her third shot over the green and into the rough, then pitched her ball to about 6 feet from the cup.
Tseng, who shot a 66 in each of the first three rounds before her even-par 72 on Sunday, said after her loss that her nerves got the better of her.
Tseng, who won the LPGA Championship for her first career victory, said three of her closest losses—as a pro and an amateur—have come to South Koreans.
"I really don't like playing with Koreans," she joked.
Na Yeon Choi finished in third place at 17 under for the tournament.
On a day dominated by youth, Chinese LPGA rookie Shanshan Feng shot a 9-under 63—the second best round of the tournament along with Christina Kim's first round—and finished the tournament at 16 under par, tied for fourth place with Stacy Prammanasudh and Hee-Won Han. Michelle Wie was disqualified after she finished her round Saturday—a 5-under-par 67 that had her a stroke off the lead—for failing to sign her second-round scorecard a day earlier.
Wie was chased down by a tournament volunteer after she left the course without signing her card. LPGA officials say they didn't learn about Wie's faux pas until after play started Saturday morning.
A win or high finish would have all but guaranteed her enough money to finish in the top 80 LPGA players this year, the cut-off for automatic inclusion in next year's tour.
Wie, a part-time golfer and full-time student at Stanford, played at the State Farm on a sponsor exemption. The LPGA allows non-touring players six of those a year, and Wie has one left.
She has said she would play at the Canadian Women's Open next month.
Wie was playing what might have been the best golf of the tournament, and the best she's played this year.
Oh, though, said Wie's absence didn't cheapen her win.
"I didn't think about it much," Oh said. "No one knows how well she would have played."
