What happened at the 2016 KPMG Women's PGA Championship
Two back of 54-hole leader Lydia Ko, Henderson drained a long eagle putt from off the front of the green at the par-5 11th and holed a big birdie putt at the par-3 17th on the way to a bogey-free 65 that tied Ko.
On the first playoff hole, the 18th, Henderson stuffed her approach to three feet for the winning birdie after Ko's approach finished 20 feet away.
