Tue., Sept. 2, 1997

Compiled From Wire Services

Cindy Figg-Currier made a 3-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to beat Lorie Kane and Kris Tschetter on Monday and win the State Farm Rail Classic, her first victory since joining the LPGA tour in 1983.

Figg-Currier, the second-round leader, shot a 4-under-par 68 Monday and finished with a 16-under 200 total for three trips around the 6,403-yard Rail Golf Club.

Tschetter, whose only LPGA victory came in 1992, made the playoff by shooting a final-round 64 and Kane, a second-year pro who has yet to win, closed with a 65.
