Sweden's Anna Nordqvist captured the women's British Open title with a one-shot win at Carnoustie on Sunday for her third major triumph after holding her nerve to beat Denmark's Nanna Madsen in a tense final hole.
The overnight leaders were locked at 12-under heading into the 18th in a thrilling final round in which six players were tied for top spot at nine-under at one point.
England's 2018 champion Georgia Hall was tied for second place at 11-under overall alongside Swede Madelene Sagstrom and American Lizette Salas. "This is truly special. I've been waiting for this for a while," Nordqvist told reporters. "I haven't won one in a couple of years. There have been a lot of downs since then, which makes it even sweeter.
