Canadian Brooke Henderson was crowned ShopRite Classic champion on Sunday.
Henderson eagle on the first hole of overtime to beat American Lindsey Weaver-Wright for her 11th LPGA Tour title.
The 24-year-old Ontario is the winning Canadian golfer in history. He won a prize pool of approximately 336,000 Canadian dollars.
Henderson went 64 (-7) in the third and final round of the tournament. She started the final round four strokes behind the leader, Frida Kinhult.
Weaver-Wright birdyed 17th and 18th pennants to force overtime. Both players finished with a cumulative -12.
