Needing to par the final hole to preserve a one-shot lead at the Chevron Championship, Ariya Jutanugarn stubbed her chip shot from behind the green.

She made bogey to fall into a three-way share of the clubhouse lead — which ended as a five-way playoff — in the LPGA’s first major of the season.

With a one-stroke advantage on the par-5 18th, Jutanugarn narrowly missed a tree off the tee, hooking her 3-wood into the fairway. She then played her second shot over the green and off the grandstand.

When it was her turn to hit her third shot, Jutanugarn quickly played and the ball didn’t appear to move. The action was so sudden that it caught NBC announcers by surprise as they weren’t sure if Jutanugarn had made an intentional swing.

An overhead shot showed that Jutanugarn was making an attempt to chip but stubbed her wedge into the ground, her ball slightly moving.

Jutanugarn then chipped well past the hole and missed the comebacker for par. The bogey dropped her to 7 under (she shot 71), tied for the lead with Hyo Joo Kim (70) and Ruoning Yin (71). The trio was joined by Lindy Duncan (73) and Mao Saigo (74) in sudden death.

On the first extra hole, again the par-5 18th, Jutanugarn horseshoed a 6-foot birdie and lost to Saigo, who converted her winning effort from 4 feet.
