Rising star wins JM Eagle LA Championship in just her third professional start.

Smead Capital Management, a Phoenix-based investment management firm and a leader in value investing, is proud to celebrate Investor Ambassador Ingrid Lindblad’s first career win on the LPGA Tour.

In just her third professional start, Lindblad clinched victory at the JM Eagle LA Championship, showcasing the discipline and composure that resonate deeply with Smead’s investment philosophy.

“Ingrid’s performance under pressure mirrors what we strive for in long-term investing,” said Cole Smead, Smead Capital Management CEO. “In turbulent moments, whether on the golf course or in the markets, it's steadiness, discipline, and conviction that set champions apart. We’re proud of Ingrid’s first win and excited to watch her continue to rise.”

Lindblad, previously the top ranked amateur in the world, began her pro career and became Smead Capital’s inaugural Investor Ambassador in 2023. The win in Los Angeles comes just ahead of her debut in a major, The Chevron Championship in Texas. With one victory already under her belt, Lindblad enters the season's first major with momentum and growing attention.
