BROKEN ARROW, Okla., May 7 (UPI) -- Mi Hyun Kim chipped her way to a birdie in the playoff hole against Juli Inkster to win the LPGA SemGroup Championship at Broken Arrow, Okla.

Kim and Inkster were tied at a 3-under-par 210 at the end of regulation play Sunday.

"I was lucky today," said Kim, who walked off with $210,000 first prize. "I worried the course would be too long because I'm not a long hitter. I kept trying to do more smart things."

Inkster had been trying for her 32nd tour victory.

Ai Miyazato and Angela Stanford shot a 2-under 211, followed by Lorena Ochoa, Reilley Rankin, Stephanie Louden and Young Kim.

In the final round, Kim and Ochoa shot an even par 71, while Inkster and Miyazato were both 2 under. Stanford was 1 over at 72.
