Ingrid Lindblad, a former figure skater, showcased remarkable talent in golf by winning the JM Eagle LA Championship, marking her first LPGA victory. Despite initial challenges in her tour starts, she achieved a remarkable nine-under 63 during the tournament to tie the scoring record. Lindblad's performance under pressure secured her victory as she skillfully converted six birdies. Her surprised reaction upon winning and the emotional support from her mother highlighted the significance of this achievement as she continues to rise in the golf ranks.
Lindblad, who missed out on the top 10 in her first two starts, charged into the conversation Friday with a career-low nine-under 63 to tie the tournament scoring record.
"You expect your opponent to make, make the chip, make the putt," Lindblad said. "She played really well this week too. I was expecting her to make it."
Her shocked expression turned to glee as her mother, Cecilia, and peers celebrated her milestone moment.
Lindblad was unaware of her first victory until cameras swarmed her as she nervously snacked in front of the clubhouse.
