AP Top News｜作为LPGA巡回赛成员的第三场比赛中，英格丽·林德布拉德（Ingrid Lindblad）赢得了JM Eagle洛杉矶锦标赛

LOS ANGELES (AP) Ingrid Lindblad won the JM Eagle LA Championship on Sunday in her third start as an LPGA Tour member, avoiding a playoff when fellow rookie Akie Iwai bogeyed the final hole at El Caballero Country Club.

You should never not expect it, right? Lindblad said. But obviously got it done in a couple starts. Just kind of crazy.

Playing a group ahead of Iwai, Lindblad shot a 4-under 68 to finish at 21-under 277. The 25-year-old former LSU star from Sweden made the last of her six birdies on the par-5 11th and parred the final seven holes. She had two front-nine bogeys.

Felt like I could have made a couple more birdies on the back nine but nothing really wanted to drop. I feel like I was just trying to like be where you cant see if youre 5-under par or 5-over par. Just staying in the moment and show no emotion. But sometimes its hard to show no emotion.

Iwai followed a third-round 64 with a 69 to fall a stroke short.

I got confidence, yeah, but I lose this week, Iwai said. But I got confidence, a lot. Little by little, this week, next week, the next week, just keep going

The 22-year-old Japanese players twin sister, Chisato, tied for 11th at 15 under after a 68. The sisters played alongside each other Saturday.

Iwai pulled even with Lindblad at 21 under with a birdie on the par-5 16th. After her drive went left and bounced twice on the cart path, Iwai hit a low cut around a tree to the front edge of the green and rolled a 75-foot eagle putt to inches.

On the par-4 18th, Iwai drove to the right over a bunker into rough, then hit a 9-iron from 150 that bounced near the flag and went off the back edge.

Maybe I have adrenaline, Iwai said. But I dont like short.

From a good lie in choppy rough, she ran the downhill chip past the hole and missed the comebacker.

That was a tough putt, she said.

Lindblad got a break on the par-4 13th when her drive struck a tree on the left side and bounced into the fairway. She parred the hole to maintain a two-stroke lead.

I dont know the camera guy up there, but he was like, `There was a little squirrel up there who was nice to you and bumped it out on the fairway, Lindblad said.

Lauren Coughlin (70), Esther Henseleit (64), Miyu Yamashita (66) tied for third at 19 under. Nasa Hataoka had a 63 to get to 18 under.

Hannah Green, the winner each of the last two seasons at Wilshire Country Club, closed with a 67 to tie for ninth at 16 under. Second-ranked Jeeno Thitikul also was 16 under after a 69.

Top-ranked Nelly Korda had a 72 to tie for 16th at 14 under in her final start before her title defense in the Chevron Championship. The major event starts Thursday outside Houston at The Woodlands.

The tournament the final event of the tours West Coast swing was played at El Caballero because of renovations at Wilshire. It will return to Wilshire next season.

Lindblad also shot 68 in the first and second rounds and had a 63 on Friday.

I feel like I played pretty aggressive all week, Lindblad said. I think it would just hurt me if we were trying to get too defensive. Felt like we stuck to the same game plan as we had the first three days, and turns out it worked out really well.

洛杉矶（美联社）——英格丽德·林德布拉德（Ingrid Lindblad）在周日的LPGA巡回赛第三轮比赛中获得了JM Eagle LA冠军，避免了与同为新秀的秋井爱子（Akie Iwai）在El Caballero乡村俱乐部最后一洞打出柏忌而进入加时赛的情况。

林德布拉德（Lindblad）说：“你应该一直有所期待，对吧？但显然，在几次尝试后就已经完成了。这有点疯狂。”

在Iwai之前的一组中，Lindblad以低于标准杆4杆的成绩打出68杆，最终以低于标准杆21杆的277杆完成比赛。这位来自瑞典的25岁前路易斯安那州立大学明星选手在五杆洞第11洞打出了她的最后一只小鸟球，并在最后七个洞中保持了平标准杆。她在前九洞中出现了两次柏忌。

我感觉在最后九洞还能再抓到几只小鸟球，但总是没什么机会。我努力保持在一个状态，让你无法看出我是低于标准五杆还是高于标准五杆。只是活在当下，不表现出任何情绪。但有时候真的很难不流露情绪。

在第三轮打出64杆后，岩井(Iwai)在接下来的轮次中打出69杆，最终以一杆之差失利。

岩井（Iwai）说：“我很有信心，但本周我可能会输。但我非常自信，一点点地，本周、下周、再下周，继续前进。”

这位22岁的日本球员的双胞胎妹妹千莎托以68杆的成绩并列第11位，总成绩为低于标准杆15杆。这对姐妹于周六并肩作战。

Iwai在5杆洞第16洞以一记小鸟球追平了Lindblad的成绩，达到21杆。在她的开球失误后，球向左偏并两次弹跳在球车道上，Iwai从一棵树旁低切一球，击中果岭的前缘，然后滚出了75英尺的老鹰推球，只差几英寸。

在四杆洞的第十八洞，岩井（Iwai）击球时向右偏出沙坑，进入草皮区，然后从150码处用9号铁杆击球，球弹起接近旗杆后飞离了后缘。

井上说：“可能是我肾上腺素分泌过多，但我不喜欢时间太短。”

在起伏不平的粗糙草地上，她从良好的发球位置开始，沿着下坡击球越过洞口，但未能成功将球回击入洞。

她说道：“那是一记艰难的推杆。”

在第四杆的13号洞，Lindblad遇到了一个好机会，她的击球打在了左侧的树上，反弹进入了球道。她成功完成了这一洞，保持了两杆的领先优势。

林德布拉德说，我不知道上面那位负责摄像的家伙是谁，但他曾说过，‘上面有一只对你很友好的小松鼠，它曾在你球道经过时冲了出来。’

劳伦·考夫林（70岁）、埃斯特·汉斯莱特（64岁）、宫下美祐（66岁）三人以低于标准杆19杆的成绩并列第三，而那须·畠本佳子（Nasa Hataoka）则以低于标准杆18杆的成绩获得63杆。

Hannah Green，连续两个赛季在威尔希尔乡村俱乐部（Wilshire Country Club）的获胜者，以67杆的成绩结束比赛，与另两位选手并列第九，总成绩为16杆。排名第二的Jeeno Thitikul在打出69杆后，总成绩也为16杆。

在雪佛兰锦标赛的卫冕赛前，排名第一的Nelly Korda在最后一轮打出了72杆，以14杆低于标准杆的成绩并列第16位。这一重大赛事将于周四在休斯顿市外的伍德兰兹举行。

由于威尔希尔球场正在进行翻修，此次巡回赛西海岸环节的最终赛事在埃尔卡瓦列罗球场举行。下一赛季，比赛将重回威尔希尔球场。

林德布拉德在第一轮和第二轮中也分别打出68杆，而周五的成绩是63杆。

林德布拉德（Lindblad）表示：“我觉得我整个星期都打得非常积极。我觉得如果我们过于保守的话，对我自己会不利。感觉我们一直坚持着和前三天一样的比赛计划，结果事实证明这真的奏效了。”
