Maria Hjorth missed a four-foot par putt at the 17th to fall into a tie with Tseng, and both missed birdie tries on the 18th in regulation.
After both parred the first three playoff holes, with Hjorth narrowly missing 18- and 12-foot birdie putts to win, Tseng knocked a 6-iron to five feet on the fourth extra hole and holed the birdie putt.
