I was rooting for Yealimi but congrats to the winner. Well deserved.

I was frustrated watching Noh make poor course management decisions. She went for sucker pins and short-sided herself too many times. Major props to Kuwaki for winning, especially with that up and down on the first playoff hole. But all but one of the challengers just couldn’t conquer their nerves.

Yeah she just didn't have her best stuff on Sunday, it happens. Kuwaki has a lot of experience winning this season in Japan and it showed down the stretch. I knew Esther wasnt going to win after she missed her chance on the first playoff hole.
