With a final-round 69, Anna Nordqvist claimed victory at the 2021 AIG Women’s Open – her first title since the 2017 Evian Championship, also a major.
Along with her win at the 2009 McDonald’s LPGA (now the KPMG PGA), the Swede became the sixth LPGA player to win a major in three different decades, and the first non-American.
She’s also just one of 22 players in history to have won three different majors.
