Lucy Li had three eagles and shot a final-round 60 at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. And she needed all of it to earn a spot in a playoff.
A short while after Li eagled the par-5 18th hole, Jasmine Suwannapura eagled it herself to shoot a 61 and get to 17 under to tie for the lead at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas.
The duo then dueled in extra holes, and on the second playoff hole, Suwannapura hit an amazing second shot that found the back of the green before rolling back to about 12 feet.

She then made the putt for yet another eagle on the par-5 18th, but this one was the clincher.
Suwannapura is the fifth player from Thailand to win on the LPGA in 2024, joining Moriya Jutanugarn (Portland Classic), Patty Tavatanakit (Honda LPGA Thailand), Jeeno Thitikul (Dow Championship) and Chanettee Wannasaen (Dana Open). Suwannapura is the 18th different winner on the LPGA this season.
