Mao Saigo won her first LPGA tournament on Sunday, and it happened to be a major. The Japanese player won the Chevron Championship after a five-way playoff. Winning the tournament meant Saigo had to indulge in the Chevron Championship's decades-long tradition of jumping into the pond at the Nicklaus Course at The Club at Carlton Woods.

Saigo won for the first time on the LPGA Tour. She was the tour's rookie of the year last season. The 23-year-old player is the first Japanese winner in the event and the fifth major champion. She has six victories on the Japanese tour, five in 2022.
