What happened at the 2003 McDonald's LPGA Championship

Sörenstam won on the first extra hole, the par-4 18th, tapping in for par after Grace Park missed the green, chipped from heavy rough to 12 feet and failed to save par.

Grace Park closed with a 67 to catch Sörenstam, who shot 72 through what Sports Illustrated called a difficult final nine at a waterlogged championship.
