Script:

It was a frantic final round at the Kraft Nabisco Championship on Sunday.

On the 12th hole, South Korean golfer Hee Kyung Seo, made a birdie attempt to take the lead at 11-under par.

Seo, however, bogeyed her last four holes, starting at the 15th hole to finish her round seven-under par.

Third round leader Karin Sjodin shot a 74 on the final round and also finished her tournament at seven-under par.

Yani Tseng finished third at 8 under with a disappointing final-round 73. The Taiwanese star had a chance to join the playoff on the 18th, but pushed a long birdie putt wide.

Kim had been incredibly steady until her miss, making a 15-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole and a 20-footer on the 17th to break a three-way tie for the lead.

Kim comfortably reached the green on the 18th and barely missed a long birdie putt.

The 23 year old needed only a tap to preserve her lead with Tseng one stroke back on the 18th fairway. She lined up over it patiently, but somehow missed the unmissable shot.

The first playoff hole was the 18th to play over again. Kim, still feeling the affects of missing the dramatic putt, put her tee shot in the rough.

Fellow South Korean, Sun Young Yoo, who quietly entered the playoff, landed her second shot on the green with a birdie attempt to win the Kraft Championship.

Yoo won the LPGA Tour's first major of the season, after she made her birdie attempt on the 18th hole.

She joins Grace Park as the only South Korean winners in the history of the tournament. Celebrating, she also joined her caddie for the leap into Poppie's Pond.
