Gaby Lopez started the day four shots behind the lead, tied for 11th at 10-under and fired a bogey-free 63, tying her career-low 18-hole score, to finish at 18-under and win her third LPGA Tour title. Her 266 total is also a new 72-hole personal record.

“I just felt like nothing was really clicking for me over the year. I was struggling physically, struggling mentally, and that's where the doubts and fears come from,” said the Mexican. “You just got to keep it real and accept where you are and just got to surround yourself with great people.”

“I was standing over the last putt and I told myself, this is exactly what I worked for, this is exactly what I trained for. I knew I had to make it. I knew I had to make it because Megan [Khang] was putting beautifully. She got on a roll as well and made a couple birdies. So I told myself, well, I'm just going to try to roll it through here. If it rolls through this spot, it has a great chance. And so I tried to be calm all day long, but sometimes excitement gets me and I couldn't hold it for the last putt.”

American Khang closed with a 64, also tying her personal best, to finish second at 17-under.

Germany's Caroline Masson finished third at 16-under, her best result since she finished runner-up at the 2021 Cognizant Founders Cup and her second top-10 of the year, following a tie for ninth at the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play.

“This good finish was really huge for me just making sure I get into CME. It was looking like the worst season ever for me in ten years and I didn't want it to be that way,” said Masson. “I felt I was playing too good to not get the top finishes. Just really pumped to get that this week and kind of free myself up a little bit for the rest of the year.”

American Lucy Li, who held the 36- and 54-hole lead for the first time on Tour, finished tied in fourth place at 15-under alongside compatriot Sarah Schmelzel and LPGA Tour rookie Ruoning Yin of China. Finishing in the top 10 for the second-straight week on Tour, Li played her way into next week’s Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G, and said she’ll look to make the most of yet another opportunity on the LPGA.
