SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Australian Minjee Lee weathered a late rally by Alison Lee to eventually defeat the American on the first playoff hole and win the LPGA South Korea tournament on Sunday.Both players finished at 16-under 272 on the Seowon Valley Country Club course outside Seoul forcing a playoff, where the Australian made a birdie at the par-4 18th after her namesake saw her birdie attempt narrowly miss.It was 27-year-old Minjee Lee’s 10th tour title and second win in her last three starts after claiming the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati in July. Sunday’s win makes her the third player from Australia to reach double digits in Tour victories, joining Jan Stephenson (16) and Karrie Webb (41).America’s Lee is still searching for her first tour victory, but can count herself desperately unlucky after mounting a strong comeback to force what had appeared to be an unlikely playoff after making bogey at the 16th to trail Minjee Lee by two shots.But...

She’s been a Porkers assistant coach on eight of their 12 state champion teams, and all of them participated. Players can design however they want, though a sign on the back must read, “Honk if you love bacon.”It’s a wonderful spectacle for coaches, a sort of coming-of-age moment Walpole players got to experience each of the last two seasons as the program broke a four-year finals hiatus. The anticipation to add their names to a long list of champions on the ride over was as thrilling as anything.But the trip back, after losing each state final to Andover by a 1-0 score, was a different story.“We actually started undecorating on the bus on the way home (last year),” Quinn said. “The loss is ...
