Kuwaki pips Henseleit to major play-off win after extraordinary finish

Shiho Kuwaki snatched a dramatic play-off victory over Esther Henseleit after an extraordinary finish to the AIG Women’s Open, as Charley Hull and Lottie Woad fell short on the final day.

Henseleit holed a remarkable 45-foot birdie on the final hole at Royal Lytham & St Annes to move to five under alongside Kuwaki, who also posted a one-under 70 and overturned a three-shot deficit during an eventful Sunday.
