Swede Lindblad gets first win in just third LPGA start
LOS ANGELES: Swedish LPGA rookie Ingrid Lindblad kept her cool to hold on to the lead and win the LA Championship at El Caballero Country Club on Sunday for her maiden victory on the tour. Lindblad held a share of the lead heading into the final round and fired a four-under par 68 to fend off threats from Germany's Ester Henseleit, who posted a brilliant eight-under par 64 and Japan's Nasa Hataoka who shot a nine-under 63. The 25-year-old had shared the lead overnight with Japan's Akie Iwai and American Lauren Coughlin – who both stayed in contention until the death. Lindblad made six birdies and a pair of bogeys in the first 11 holes and parred the last seven. She finished with a 21-under par total of 267 and, in just her third start on the LPGA Tour, was able to avoid a playoff when Iwai bogeyed the final hole. 'You should never not expect it, right? But obviously got it done in a couple starts – just kind of crazy,' said Lindblad of her first win. 'I made a couple birdies on the front nine and kind of just slowed down on the back. Obviously feel like I could have had a couple more on the back nine. But here we are,' she said. The Swede had a bit of good fortune when her drive on the par-four 13th went into the trees but bounced back on to the course and she was able to make par. 'I had hit pretty good tee shots on that hole so felt pretty confident. Obviously I think the left miss is almost better than the right because it kicks down in the fairway,' she said. Justin Leonard leads Chubb Classic, step closer to 1st Tour win 'I don't know the camera guy up there, but he was like, there is a little squirrel up there who was nice to you and bumped it out on the fairway,' she said. Coughlin finished tied for third along with Henseleit and Japan's Miyu Yamashita, who shot a six-under 66 and while the American paid the price for bogeys on the fifth and the 18th she was pleased with her week's work. 'I felt like I played really solid. Hit some really good shots. Just couldn't get the putts to go in today,' she said. 'But overall I played really, really good golf all week, so a lot of good things to take away going into our first major next week,' she added, looking ahead to the Chevron Championship in Houston. World number one Nelly Korda finished tied for 16th after making a double bogey on the 18th and carding an even-par 72.

(AP Photo/Jessie Alcheh) Ingrid Lindblad , the Swedish rookie who made waves as an amateur, has secured her first LPGA victory just three starts into her rookie season. The 25-year-old former LSU standout won the 2025 JM Eagle LA Championship with a 21-under total, defeating fellow rookie Akie Iwai by one stroke in a thrilling finish at El Caballero Country Club in Tarzana, California. A Confident Rookie with Big Goals Lindblad, who had a storied college career at LSU, including 15 wins and a stint as the No. 1-ranked amateur in the world, wasted no time making her mark as a professional. Her triumph at the JM Eagle LA Championship came just three events into her LPGA career, underscoring her confidence and readiness for the big stage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invest $200 in Amazon without buying stocks to earn a second salary Marketsall Sign Up Undo In an emotional moment after the win, Lindblad hugged her mother, Cecilia, who had just arrived from Sweden to support her for the month. The victory also secured Lindblad a spot in the U.S. Women's Open, making her rookie season even more impactful. "'I don't think winning is that crazy of a goal,' Ingrid Lindblad said last fall when discussing her expectations for her rookie season. Turns out, she was right." A Nail-Biting Finish The final round was filled with drama, as Lindblad started the day tied for the lead with Iwai. Lindblad shot a steady 4-under 68, while Iwai faltered in the final moments, missing a par-saving putt on the 18th hole, which gave Lindblad the victory by one shot. With three players finishing just two strokes behind, including Lauren Coughlin, Esther Henseleit, and Miyu Yamashita, it was clear that the competition was fierce. World No. 1 Nelly Korda finished 16th after a challenging round, but it was Lindblad's day, as the young Swede showed poise and composure under pressure. "You could tell she's super talented and really good at what she does," said Coughlin, who had played with Lindblad in the past and was not surprised by her success. Following in Annika's Footsteps Lindblad's victory was a historic one. Not only did she become the second rookie to win on the LPGA this season, but she also joined a select group of players to win on the same course where Annika Sorenstam claimed her 50th career victory back in 2004. Lindblad, who idolizes Sorenstam, will surely be looking to follow in the footsteps of the Hall of Famer as she continues to build her career. As for the future, Lindblad is eager to keep up the momentum. "We're not here to mess around," she said of her fellow rookies, highlighting the strength of this year's debut class. The win not only boosted her confidence but also earned her a $562,500 paycheck, with a bright future ahead. In the coming weeks, Lindblad will compete in the first major of the season, the Chevron Championship , and with her first LPGA title in hand, the sky's the limit for the rising Swedish star.
