Katelyn Vo took third overall with a 159 after she shot an 81 in round one and a 78 in round two. Vo went through her first nine with a birdie at 8 to sit at +2 at the turn. She ran into some trouble in the back nine to take one par in her final six holes but still finished with an 81. Vo came back with a solid performance in round two. She still managed to sink one birdie at 7 but ended with 12 pars to shave four strokes off of her day one total with a 78 in day two.
Right behind Vo was Ottavia Lombardo who finished in fourth with a score of 160. Lombardo started her tournament with a round of 82 but came back strong with a 78 including back-to-back birdies at 7 and 8 for a top-five finish.
Ending the day for the Sagehens was Claire Whisenant who took sixth place overall with a combined score of 168. Whisenant birdied two holes at 5 and 15 in round one but ran into some trouble on the front to take an 86 into round two.
