Liselotte Neumann, all but forgotten after losing four strokes over the final two holes Saturday, birdied the third playoff hole with a winding 45-foot putt to win her second Edina Realty LPGA Classic title in three years.

Neumann, who lost a playoff at last week’s Oldsmobile Classic, beat Carin Koch, Brandie Burton and Suzanne Strudwick in the playoff to win $82,500.

All four women had three-day totals of 9-under 207 on the 6,141-yard layout. Clarkston’s Robin Walton finished at 215.

Charles Coody shot a 5-under-par 65 to beat Larry Mowry by one stroke in the $1.1 million Canadian Senior Open at Ancaster, Ontario.

Coody was four strokes behind Mowry as the round began and had five birdies at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club.

It was Coody’s fifth win on the Senior PGA Tour, but his first since 1991. Iw was worth $165,000.
