World number 95 Pernilla Lindberg won her first major by beating South Korea's Inbee Park in an epic eight-hole play-off at the ANA Inspiration in California.
Swede Lindberg, 31, holed from 25 feet for birdie on the par-four 10th at Mission Hills Country Club, but seven-time major winner Park, 29, was unable to follow suit from 15 feet.
The play-off for the first women's major of the season was stopped after four holes on Sunday because of darkness.
"It felt like too big a dream to come true but it has," Lindberg told the Golf Channel.
"I remember writing some goals in high school about the dream scenario to win a major and leave a mark in history.
"I've probably given my dad so many heart attacks over the last few days."
American Jennifer Song, who was also part of the play-off after finishing on 15 under, was eliminated after a par on the third extra hole.
Lindberg, whose previous best result at a major was a tie for fifth at the 2015 US Open, led for all four rounds of the ANA Inspiration.
England's Charley Hull finished in a share of sixth on 13th under.
