KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Women's British Open champion Miyu Yamashita matched the low final round with a 7-under 65 and birdied the first playoff hole to win the Maybank Championship for her second LPGA Tour title of her rookie season.

Yamashita, a 24-year-old from Japan, defeated 54-hole leader Hye-Jin Choi of South Korea and Hannah Green of Australia. Choi has 29 career runner-up finishes without a win on the tour, and this was her third time with a 54-hole lead. She shot 73.

Green, who played on the victorious Australian team in the International Crown two weeks ago, birdied the 18th for a 68 to join the playoff at 18-under 270.

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul (68) of Thailand, Liu Yan (65) of China, Akie Iwai (67) of Japan and South Korean pair A Lim Kim (68) and Kim Sei-Young (66)
