Lindberg beats Park in playoff

Pernilla Lindberg wrote down a list of goals in high school: win a major and leave a mark in history. Super-sized dreams don’t often come true, but the 31-year-old journeywoman climbed into the ring with South Korean royalty and, after umpteen rounds, delivered the knock-out punch. Lindberg beat seventime major champion Inbee Park at her own game — holing a 30-foot birdie putt on the eighth playoff hole (the fourth one played Monday morning). “The putt Pernilla made on the last was a champion’s putt,” Park said. “You really can’t beat that.” What couldn’t be decided in the dark Sunday became an instant classic in the warm desert sun, as 1,500 fans made their way to the Dinah Shore Tournament Course for the first Monday finish in tournament history. “Last night when a couple of my friends said they were sticking around till Monday, I said, ‘Oh, great, at least there would be a few people out there,’ ” Lindberg said. “And I couldn’t even see them because there were so many people.”
