CORNING, N.Y. � Leta Lindley earned her first career LPGA Tour victory by beating Jeong Jang on the first hole of a playoff to win the Corning Classic.

Jang made a great shot out of a greenside bunker at No. 18 for a tap-in par today before Lindley stepped up and drained a 6-foot putt for birdie.

Lindley's win comes in her 296th career start. She lost a playoff on the second hole to Chris Johnson at the 1997 McDonald's Championship in her only other playoff.

Both players finished 72 holes tied at 11 under. Lindley is the eighth player to make Corning her first victory on tour.
