Ela Grimwood had a handsome lead before Tyla Kingi put together an impressive 1-under par round to force a playoff.

The inaugural Junior Tiger winner in 2009 has been away from the game for a long time with illness so to see her bounce back in this fashion and come from so far behind was extremely impressive.
"Its great to be playing again after a bit of time off, so I am very pleased and it was even better to have mum on the bag for the whole tournament," said Kingi.
