Korda defeated Americans Stacy Lewis (70) and Brittany Lincicome (71), Paraguayan Julieta Granada (71), and South Koreans Hee Kyung Seo (73) and So Yeon Ryu (73) in the six-way playoff for the title.

Jessica and Petr Korda have now completed a rare father-daughter dual sport Australian Open double.

"When we spoke on Monday Dad said Melbourne had been good to him. As I was walking around here, there was a Melbourne sign on every green. It made me smile because it reminds me of the good times. I love watching Melbourne tennis. I watched all the time. It is a really special place for my family. For my first New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons win, I honestly could not have thought of a better place," said Korda, aged 18 years , 11 months and 16 days.

On her father's reaction, she revealed: "That he was so proud of me and we'll talk about the three-putts after."

Korda had a steady front nine but a string of three straight bogeys from the 14th led to intense drama over the play-off hole, the 18th.

Of the playoff, Korda said: "I was thinking really clearly. I had one concept in my head...I was really calm. I knew what the putt did because I'd had it before and it did not move. I was a little higher up and more to the right. I knew the line and I knew the speed. All I had to do was just hit it. It started breaking. I thought, Oh my goodness no, don't lip out, don't break too early. I don't even know what side of the hole it hit. I was overwhelmed by everything." New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons

She admitted she was "overwhelmed" with her first career win.

"A lot of the hard work I put in in the off season, all the times I was down last year, it is all worth it. It made me grow up," she said.

"It made me realise that you've got to change your life to live out here and this is proof. I know that all the hard hours I put in and will keep putting in are really worth it. Every moment.
