The final mistake belonged to Jenny Bae, a Georgia senior who lost her shot at winning with one bad swing.Bae, who rallied from a six-shot deficit with a 70, had a 20-foot birdie on the 18th in the playoff for the win and left it short.

It grazed the edge of the cup and settled inches away, which was all she needed.The 19-year-old sophomore was mobbed by her Stanford teammates, one ...
