American Marina Alex claimed a long-awaited second LPGA tour title, firing six birdies in a five-under par 66 to break a tie and win the Palos Verdes Championship by one stroke over world number one Ko Jin-young.
The 31-year-old American, who won her only other tour title at the 2018 Portland Classic, shook off an early bogey to build a 10-under par total of 274.
She powered past overnight leader Hannah Green and New Zealand's third-ranked Lydia Ko, who started the day one back, erasing a three-shot deficit on the way to victory, and admitted she hadn't been sure she would see the winner's circle again.
