At the 1972 Corpus Christi Civitan Open, it took ten holes of sudden death for Jo Ann Prentice to defeat Kathy Whitworth and Sandra Palmer. To this date it remains the longest sudden death playoff in LPGA history.[4]

gollark: No it doesn't. You can probably ask someone you know who knows about watches. Or look at watch reviews on the internet, although this is nontrivial.
