Shot of the Year: Ashleigh Buhai at Women's British Open

Ashleigh Buhai bravely overcame a nightmarish triple-bogey on the 15th to claim a hugely dramatic victory in the AIG Women’s Open, defeating In Gee Chun on the fourth hole of an extraordinary sudden-death play-off at Muirfield.

Thirty-two years on from this Championship’s last play-off, a remarkable conclusion left spectators gripped as Buhai and Chun, who had both finished on 10-under-par after respective rounds of 75 and 70, matched each other shot for shot over three extra trips down the 18th.
