It took her 186 tournaments but American Kris Tamulis finally broke through for her maiden LPGA Tour victory in Alabama.
The 34-year-old Tamulis played 29 holes on Sunday in the twice-delayed tournament, finishing a third-round 67 and closing with a 65 for a 17-under-par 271 total, beating South Korea's Yani Tseng and fellow American Austin Ernst by a stroke.
"It was amazing," Tamulis said. "I was definitely not expecting this today."
Tseng had rounds of 71 and 67, and Ernst shot 68-69 with the weather clearing up after delays totalling nearly seven hours the previous two days.
Both parred the final hole with a chance to force a playoff.
Tamulis had previously had a pair of runner-up finishes in 2004 on the Symetra Tour.
Minjee Lee finished 69 71 and tied with Sarah Jane Smith 66 70 as the leading Australians in a group sharing 23rd at six-under.
