Stephanie Meadow had a consistent final round, finishing tied for 53rd at one-under.

However, a few costly mistakes, including a double bogey on the 18th, saw her fall short. Soo Bin Jun made headlines with a spectacular hole-in-one on the second hole, using a six-iron on the par-3.

The tournament also highlighted strong performances from other competitors, including Ssu-Chia Cheng, who tied for third with Grant.

“Today, I mean, wasn’t a lot of fun the first nine, but managed to pull myself together on the back, made a lot of birdies.” – Linn Grant
