El Paso TX (My Sportsbook) - Kyeong Bae defeated Tara Bateman and Hye Jung Choi in a playoff on Sunday to win the IOS Futures Golf Classic. The trio finished regulation tied at five-under-par 211 on the Sunrise Course at Underwood Golf Complex. They returned to the 18th hole and Bateman and Choi had short par putts to extend the playoff, but they both missed, giving the victory to Bae. "I didn't expect them to miss those putts," said Bae, who posted a 70 in the final round. "I thought we'd play another hole. This is just unbelievable." Bateman carded a 71 for her spot in the extra session, while Choi fired a 65 to complete the logjam. "I'm nervous and I'm excited, but I had fun," said Choi. "I felt it was going to be a good day today." Sarah Huarte and Adrienne Gautreaux tied for fourth place at four-under-par 212. Virada Nirapathpongporn, who won last week's Jalapeno Golf Classic, followed at three-under-par 213 along with Courtney Wood.
