Overview

  • Ingrid Lindblad shot a final-round 68 to finish at 21-under, narrowly defeating fellow rookie Akie Iwai by one stroke.
  • Iwai bogeyed the 18th hole, missing a chance to force a playoff and settling for second place at 20-under.
  • German golfer Esther Henseleit posted a bogey-free 64 to tie for third alongside Miyu Yamashita and Lauren Coughlin at 19-under.
  • The LA Championship was relocated to El Caballero Country Club for 2025 due to renovations at Wilshire Country Club.
  • This win positions Lindblad as a rising star ahead of next week’s Chevron Championship, the LPGA season’s first major.
