Lindberg won the 2018ANA 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.

Still tied after seven extra holes, the players returned to #10, where Lindberg sank a thirty-foot (9 m) birdie putt, while Park missed hers from twenty feet (6 m).[2] The victory boosted Lindberg′s world ranking61 places, from 95 to a career-best 34.[2]
