Andrew is totally correct. h
However, the original sentence is more elegant and refined than the sentence with "who" . In academic English, you will find this phrasing over the sentence with "who."
the only (noun) to (do something)
She was the only child to come up with that answer. (academic English, or "newspaper" English)
She was the only child who came up with that answer. (Spoken or less formal English)
