OTSU, Japan (AP) — Nasa Hataoka won a playoff Sunday to take the LPGA’s Toto Japan Classic after the final 18 holes were washed out by all-day rain and what officials termed “unplayable course conditions.”
Hataoka and fellow Japanese golfer Yuna Araki shared the lead on Saturday after 54 holes at 15-under 201 at the Seta Golf Club in western Japan.
