CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) — Hyo Joo Kim rallied from a four-shot deficit Sunday with an 8-under 64 to force a playoff, defeating Lilia Vu on the first extra hole with a 6-foot birdie putt in the Ford Championship.

Kim won for the seventh time on the LPGA and emerged from a long and wild day in the desert at Whirlwind Golf Club with 10 birdies in the 19 holes she played.

Vu hit a splendid bunker shot on the par-5 17th to set up a short birdie to tie Kim. Her approach on the 18th bounded across the firm green, she chipped to 7 feet and holed the par putt for a 68 to send the tournament into extra holes.

Vu missed a birdie putt from about 15 feet, setting up Kim for the win.

“The feeling was great today and I just thought one hole at a time, one birdie at a time,” Kim said through her interpreter.

After 20+ years of coaching golfers of all levels, I can tell you this: you don't need fancy equipment to improve your game. I've seen more progress from students with alignment sticks and a smartphone than from those who bought the latest $500 driver.

What you feel in your swing and what's actually happening are often completely different. I see this daily. Your smartphone bridges this gap, showing you exactly what's happening, while alignment sticks provide the visual boundaries that groove proper movements. Together, they're golf improvement gold.

Florida State's Luke Clanton became the second player to earn a PGA TOUR card through the PGA TOUR U Accelerated program. He accumulated all 20 points over a 9-month period through his on-course performance. Luke walks through the journey he's been on and reflects on what he's accomplished in such a short time.

As the Arnold Palmer Invitational unfolds this week at the magnificent Bay Hill Club & Lodge, I find myself reflecting on my long-standing love affair with this iconic venue and my profound admiration for its legendary namesake. Bay Hill isn't just another stop on the PGA TOUR — it's a living tribute to the man who transformed golf.

Arnold Palmer's approach to golf transcended mere technique; it embodied a philosophy about how to play the game and, perhaps, how to live life. As we celebrate the legend this week, it seems like a perfect opportunity to revisit some of his timeless wisdom, which remains as relevant today as when he first shared it.

1. Grip It and Rip It — With Purpose

"Swing your swing," Palmer famously advised. "Not some idea of a swing. Not a swing you saw on TV. Not that swing you wish you had. No . . .swing your swing."
