Australias Minjee Lee claimed her third major with a three-shot victory at the Womens PGA Championship.
The 29-year-old shot a two-over-par 74 in the final round to finish on four under at Fields Ranch East in Frisco, Texas.
In windy conditions, Lee was one of only three players to shoot below par for the weekend.
American Auston Kim and Thailands Chanettee Wannasaen finished joint second.
"That is my ultimate goal," said Lee when asked about the prospect of completing the career grand slam.
"I really wanted to be in the Hall of Fame. Thats why I started golf and thats why I wanted to be on the LPGA Tour."
The average score for the field was more than 75, the highest for an LPGA Tour major in a decade.
Lee initially struggled with the conditions, hitting three bogeys in her opening six holes.
Kim and Wannasaen finished an hour before Lee with rounds of 68, but Lee steadied on the back nine and carded birdies on the 14th and 15th.
