GLADSTONE, N.J. (AP) — American Morgan Pressel rallied from two holes down with three to play to eliminate No. 2 Na Yeon Choi on the first playoff hole in the third round of the Sybase Match Play Championship.

Top-ranked Yani Tseng, No. 10 seeded Amy Yang and No. 12 seeded Angela Stanford lost in the morning round Saturday. That leaves No. 6 seeded Stacy Lewis as the only Top 10 player in the original field of 64.

Lewis capped a 1-up win over 2010 Sybase champion Sun Young Yoo by hitting her third shot on the par 5, final hole within a foot of the cup.

Tseng, who had won three times on the LPGA Tour this year, dropped a 3 and 2 decision when the 49th-seeded Kung birdied the 15th and 16th holes.
