England’s Lottie Woad birdied the final two holes to win the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
The 20-year-old had led going into the final round at the home of the Masters but was overtaken by American Bailey Shoemaker, who shot a bogey-free 66.
Heading down the 17th, Woad was one shot behind, but a birdie three drew her level and she holed a lengthy putt on the 18th for a round of 69.
That gave her a three-round total of eight-under-par 208.
Woad, who finished one clear of second-placed Shoemaker, said: “I was hoping it was going to be a nice stress-free day but it was far from that. But in the end it was a cooler way to finish.
“To be in the mix on the back nine at Augusta is something everyone dreams about. I just tried to really embrace it. It’s really cool to be standing in the same place as the Masters champions have stood and just follow in their footsteps a little bit.”
Woad’s victory earns her a place in the field for the Women’s Open and the US Women’s Open.
