Pernilla Lindberg

Pernilla Anna Lindberg (born 13 July 1986) is a Swedish professional golfer on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour. Her only professional win to date came at the ANA Inspiration, a major championship, in April 2018.

Early life
Lindberg was born and grew up in Bollnäs in the province of Hälsingland, Gävleborg County, Sweden. As a youth in Sweden, she was an alpine ski racer. Her father Jan was one of the best players in the local golf club, Bollnäs Golf Club, in the 1970s.

2002--2004, Lindberg won seven national youth tournaments in Sweden.

Amateur career
Lindberg was a member of the winning Swedish team at the 2006 European Lady Juniors' Team Championship at Golf Club de Pan, Netherlands.

Two years later Lindberg was part of winning Swedish teams at both the 2008 European Ladies' Team Championship and the 2008 Espirito Santo Trophy.

Lindberg played college golf in the United States at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, and graduated in May 2009 with a bachelor's degree in international business.

Professional career
She joined the Duramed Futures Tour in June 2009 and qualified at the end of the year for both the LPGA Tour and the LET for 2010.

Lindberg won the 2018 ANA Inspiration, a major championship, for her first professional win. She prevailed in a sudden-death playoff, which extended to eight holes, over Inbee Park and Jennifer Song. Despite holding a three-shot lead after 54 holes, Lindberg shot 71 in the final round. In the final pairing, she birdied the 72nd hole to finish at 273 (−15), tied with Park and Song. In the playoff, Song was eliminated on the third extra hole when Park and Lindberg both birdied. After another try, the remaining two parred the hole and play was suspended due to darkness. On Monday morning, the playoff resumed on the 10th hole, then went to 17 and back to 18. Still tied after seven extra holes, the players returned to #10, where Lindberg sank a 30 ft birdie putt, while Park missed hers from 20 ft. The victory boosted Lindberg′s world ranking 61 places, from 95 to a career-best 34.

Personal life
On 31 January 2019, Lindberg married Daniel Taylor, who had been her caddie for several seasons.
