American Jennifer Kupcho earned her first win on the LPGA Tour with a two-stroke win at the Chevron Championship.
The 24-year-old started the day six shots clear at Mission Hills and then carded two over 74 to finish at 14 under, with compatriot Jessica Korda finishing second.
Kupcho became the first US winner since Brittany Lincicome in 2015.
After the game, she told the press: “I’ve been that close a couple of times. It’s really hard, but here I am.”
Kupcho kept up the tradition of the tournament by jumping into Poppie’s Pond along with her caddy and husband after claiming the win. The tradition was started in 1983 by Amy Alcott.
