The Pioneers climbed two spots up the leaderboard with a final round 312 to finish with 632 in the 18-team tournament field.

The TU trio of Hannah Brown, Nilubol Panno and Sofie Lorentzen finished tied for 28th with 36-hole total 157. Lorentzen carded a season-best 74 in Tuesday's final round as she moved 27 positions up the scoreboard. Her 74 (+2) was tied for the seventh-lowest final round score in the 99-player field on Tuesday.
