Alabama's Emma Talley won the NCAA women's individual golf championship Monday to become the fifth player to win the title and the U.S. Women's Amateur.

Talley holed an 8-foot birdie putt on the final hole after a weather delay for a 3-under-par 69 and a one-stroke victory over Arkansas' Gaby Lopez and Duke's Leona Maguire.
