Amateur Avani Prashanth posted the best round of the day at even-par 72 and once again emerged as the top amateur with the tied-third finish.

On the 18th hole, Jahanvi smashed it for par putt, that left Lakhmehar needing to hole the 8-footer for an outright victory or go into a play-off, and the 21-year-old parred the final to claim her first title on WPG Tour.
