Anna Nordqvist edged in front of crowded field to win the 2021 AIG Women's Open.

The Swedish golfer finished her run at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland with a 69 during Round 4 on Sunday. It put her 12 strokes under par for the tournament, one ahead of three others in second place.

Nanna Koerstz Madsen was tied for the lead going into the last hole until a double-bogey dropped her into a tie for fifth.

The British Open crown represents the third major title in Nordqvist's career while earning a record payout of $870,000 for the latest win.
