The 22-year-old Ariya became the first player from Thailand to lift the trophy as she parred all four play-off holes at the Shoal Creek, Alabama course.
She finished with a 72-hole total of 11-under 277 and got into the play-off with Kim despite a monumental back nine collapse that saw her seven-stroke lead evaporate on Sunday afternoon.
