American Allisen Corpuz earned her maiden LPGA Tour win at the US Women's Open on Sunday, edging challengers Charley Hull and Jiyai Shin.
No previous wins, no problem for Allisen Corpuz...
The 25-year-old Hawaiian closed out her tournament on nine-under-par, with a fourth round score of 69 enough to clinch her first win on the LPGA Tour by three shots.
Speaking after her victory, Corpuz said: "Every few holes I kind of looked out and said, 'I'm here at Pebble Beach'.
"There's not many places that are better than this. Twenty, 30 years from now, I think just the fact that it's a US Open means a lot to me. But knowing that it's at Pebble makes it even sweeter."
England's Hull did well to find herself in the hunt on Sunday, having carded scores of 73, 72 and 71 heading into the fourth round.
She opened her final session with an eagle on the second, before birdieing three of her next four holes.
Hull picked up three more shots on the back nine to keep an element of pressure on Corpuz, but was ultimately left to rue two costly bogeys.
