South Korea's Park Sung-hyun is set to reclaim the world number one spot in women's golf after winning the NW Arkansas Championship.
The two-time major winner, 25, birdied the final hole for a five-under-par 65 which sealed a one-shot victory and her seventh LPGA title.
Fellow South Koreans Inbee Park and Kim Hyo-joo, plus American Danielle Kang, shared second on 17 under.
Park is expected to take over the top spot from compatriot Ko Jin-young.
Ko helped her celebrate, dousing Park with water on the 18th green at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas, as the 54-hole tournament concluded.
Park won the Women's World Championship in Singapore in March.
In Arkansas, England's Melissa Reid finished nine shots behind, with Georgia Hall a further two back on seven under.
