  1. Seo, hitting her first drive of the day, drives into a bunker on the par-5 17th.

    Ryu splits the fairway with her drive.

  2. Seo's ball is up against the edge of the bunker, which means she will find it very difficult to advance the ball.

  3. Seo advances the ball about 100 yards. She may not be able to reach the green in three.

  6. Ryu's third shot lands about 10-15 feet from the hole. She will have a good shot for birdie.

  7. Seo pitches across the 17th green and comes up about 20 feet short. She will have a difficult par putt.

  8. Seo's par putt just slides past on the right. A real heartbreaker. She taps in for bogey.

  11. This was an amazing performance by Ryu. She played six holes this morning, and started by hitting her first shot into a bunker on the par-3 16th. Here's how she fared:

    End of Fourth Round:
    16: Par
    17: Par
    18: Birdie

    Playoff:
    16: Par
    17: Birdie
    18: Birdie

    That's three birdies in six holes -- including two birdies on the 18th, which had been the toughest hole all week. She really deserved her win.
