“I'm really, really excited and just proud of myself for being able to stick through the shots and the routines. Sometimes I find that's really hard to do, especially if you know you have only a few holes left. But I was really nervous, especially I started pulling a few shots and I told myself, okay, just stay in the moment and breathe. You go through all those things that you think will help.”

She is the second winner from South Africa this season following Ashleigh Buhai (AIG Women’s Open), and is the fourth LPGA Tour winner from South Africa overall, joining Sally Little (15 wins), Buhai (one win) and Lee-Anne Pace (one win). Reto is the eighth Rolex First-Time Winner of the 2022 LPGA Tour season and the fourth consecutive first-time winner; the last time the LPGA Tour had four consecutive first-time winners was 2005.

Former Rolex Rankings No. 1 Nelly Korda holed out for eagle at the 12th and pulled within a stroke of Reto with back-to-back birdies at the 15th and 16th but lipped out a chance for birdie at the 17th and closed with a 67 for a share of second place at 18-under.

“Still need to tighten up some loose ends I feel like, maybe improve on a couple different areas, but that's golf. That's what I love about it,” said Korda. “I feel like you can constantly improve. Every girl out here is improving. Paula played amazing this week and she went from, I don't know if she even had her card last year to being a champion. So anyone can win, and that's what's great about golf. Anyone that tees it up has a chance to win, because all the girls and all the guys are so good."
