England's Charley Hull made a late push to vie for the Kroger Queen City Championship on Sunday at Kenwood Country Club in Cincinnati, but ultimately it was Minjee Lee who topped Hull on the second hole of a playoff to collect her ninth career LPGA victory.
Lee was cruising with nine holes remaining but she made double bogey on the par-5 12th hole, then Hull birdied Nos. 14, 15 and 16 to end tied with Lee after regulation and the two went back to the 18th hole to settle the outcome. Both made par the first time, although Hull's birdie putt from off the back of the green was a rotation short of going in, then Lee hit her approach, again on 18, to three feet to convert the birdie and the win. She took home a first-place prize of $300,000 from a $2 million overall purse.
The championship was the first of only four remaining full-field events on the LPGA schedule this year. The tour now breaks for two weeks for the Solheim Cup in Spain. Then, after stops in Arkansas and Texas, the tour shifts to a four-week Asia swing with limited-field tournaments before coming back in November for the end of the season.
In other words, for those trying to secure a place in the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship—or just make sure their cards locked up for 2024—time is of the essence.
