Celine Boutier of France fired a 4–under 68 and prevailed in a one-hole playoff against England’s Georgia Hall on Sunday to win the LPGA Drive On Championship in Gold Canyon, Ariz.

Boutier, who held the lead after three rounds of action, sank a clutch birdie putt at the par-5 18th hole to force the playoff after Hall had jumped ahead courtesy of a 7–under-par 65. Hall carded seven birdies and an eagle against two bogeys on Sunday, sharing low-round honors with Japan’s Ayaka Furue and Daniela Darquea of Ecuador.
