Final LPGA leaderboard: Portland Classic winner results tour schedule

The final round of the Portland Classic schedule began with an LPGA leaderboard so tightly packed that three players were tied atop it - and ended with two players still tied atop it tied at fourteen under par, forcing a sudden death overtime playoff to determine the ultimate winner. That lead changed hands numerous times during the course of the weekend at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, with the victory up for grabs. In the end, the winner was a golfer who had topped the leaderboard earlier in the week.

Suzann Pettersen, Mi Jung Hur, and Carlota Ciganda began the day tied at the top of the LPGA leaderboard at eleven under par apiece after fifty-four holes. They were trailed by round two leader So Yeon Ryu, Xi Yu Lin, and round three leader I.K. Kim, all at ten under par. Another five players were at nine under including Laura Diaz. Some of the biggest names on the LPGA Tour including Stacy Lewis and Michelle Wie aren’t participating this weekend. But after seventy-two holes it was I.K. Kim and Austin Ernst who found themselves embroiled in a playoff.

Austin Ernst was the winner over IK Kim in sudden death at the Portland Classic golf tournament. The next stop on the LPGA Tour schedule is The Evian Championship in Evian-les-Bains, France beginning on September 11th.
