Championship Flight 3-HOLE
Sudden Death Play-off
Immediately followed regular play
At the par-4 10th, the first playoff hole, Wells sank a 25-foot par putt while Lavy and Maggio each missed birdie putts from inside 15 feet to force another hole.
Wells ran out of luck at the second playoff hole, which shifted to the par-4 18th. Her tee shot came to rest just above a fairway bunker and she later mustered a bogey to bow out after Lavy and Maggio two-putted for par from 40 feet.
Maggio, 15, the defending champion and reigning AWGA Junior Girls Player of the Year, would be the next to succumb at the third playoff hole, also played at the 18th.
Instead of lagging the water hazard in the middle of the fairway, Maggio took driver off the tee and pulled her tee shot well left in dense trees. She needed a 240-yard drive to carry the hazard, which she had accomplished in Tuesday's round.
Lavy hit the green in regulation from 165 yards back while Maggio was on the green in four. Lavy lagged a 20-foot birdie attempt 3 inches short of the cup before tapping in for the victory.
