Anchor: South Korea's Yoo Sun-young has won the LPGA Tour's first major tournament of the season and her first major title. Kim In-kyung tells us more.

Report: Yoo Sun-young finished at nine under to beat fellow South Korean I.K. Kim in a play-off and win the Kraft Nabisco Championship in Rancho Mirage, California on Sunday. Kim had been consistent throughout the match, but Yoo came from behind after Kim narrowly missed a putt.

Yoo became the second Korean to win the Kraft Nabisco after Park Ji-eun won in 2004. Yoo also became the first Korean to win a tournament this season and the 102nd Korean to win an LPGA title.

Yoo kissed the champion's cup after edging out Yani Tseng from Taiwan and Karin Sjodin from Sweden, who had been in the lead until Saturday. Top-ranked Tseng finished third at eight under while Seo Hee-kyung and Yang Hee-young, both Koreans, tied for fourth place at seven under.

Yoo, who joined the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association in 2006, played on the National Golf Team in 2002 and turned professional in 2004.

The Kraft Nabisco Championship, which was founded in 1972, became a major tournament in 1983. After 1988-champion Amy Alcott jumped into Poppie's Pond to celebrate her win, it has become a tradition for Nabisco champions to leap into the lake by the 18th green. The golfers who make the plunge come to be known as the "Ladies of the Lake."

Yoo Sun-young followed the tradition and celebrated by taking the leap.
