Hilary Lunke won her only major (and only LPGA) title in an 18-hole Monday playoff over Angela Stanford and Kelly Robbins, and became the first qualifier to win the championship.{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AUcuAAAAIBAJ&sjid=f6YEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2094%2C2080844 |newspaper=Tuscaloosa News |location=(Alabama)|agency=Associated Press |title=Lune first qualifier to win Open |date=July 8, 2003 |page=4C }} The three Americans finished the fourth round at 283 (−1), one stroke ahead of two-time champion Annika Sörenstam, who bogeyed the par-5 72nd hole after putting her tee shot in the fairway.{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=U4E0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=KoUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2055%2C3202666 |newspaper=Sarasota Herald-Tribune |location=(Florida)|agency=Associated Press |title=Three-way playoff today; final hole foils Annika |date=July 7, 2003 |page=1C}}{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yWZWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vvIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3344%2C5742829|newspaper=Spokesman-Review |location=(Spokane, Washington)|agency=Associated Press |last=Ferguson |first=Doug |title=To be continued |date=July 7, 2003 |page=C1 }}[http://www.pumpkinridge.com/womensopen03.cfm Pumpkin Ridge.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001003020/http://www.pumpkinridge.com/womensopen03.cfm |date=2011-10-01 }} - 2003 U.S. Women's Open - accessed 2011-08-26{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=IlZWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0esDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4074%2C1509245|work=Eugene Register-Guard|location=(Oregon)|agency=(The Columbian)|last=Daschel|first=Nick|title=Wide open finish for trio|date=July 7, 2003|page=E1}} The last playoff was five years earlier in 1998 and it had been sixteen years since three players were involved.
