Se Ri Pak, age 28, won her third LPGA Championship with a playoff victory over Karrie Webb.[1] She three-putted the 72nd hole to fall into a tie with Webb at 280 (−8), one stroke ahead of Ai Miyazato and Mi Hyun Kim. Webb had birdie opportunities on the final two holes, but parred both.[2]

After a short tee shot on the first extra hole, Pak hit her long approach shot within inches for birdie to gain her fifth major title and 23rd win on the LPGA Tour, the first in two years.[1][2]

This championship was played at Bulle Rock for five consecutive seasons, 2005 through 2009.
