Mirim Lee ran toward the water for the winner’s leap into Poppie’s Pond in Rancho Mirage (Riverside County), and there was no blue wall to stop her.
How she got to that point as the ANA Inspiration champion was shocking even to Lee.
She chipped in twice to stay in the hunt for a major title that for the longest time looked as though it would come down to Nelly Korda or Brooke Henderson. And then after a 5-wood that caromed off a temporary blue wall behind the 18th green and kept it from going in the water, Lee chipped for eagle and a 5-under-par 67.
That got her into a three-way playoff, and Lee ended it quickly.
She hit 5-wood just through the green — no help needed from the wall on that one — chipped to 5 feet and made the birdie putt. Korda missed the 18th fairway for the second time and made par, and Henderson’s 7-foot birdie attempt in the playoff stayed left of the hole.
“I must be a little crazy for winning,” Lee said through a translator.
