With a final round 69, Aditi was Tied-ninth, her best this season.

Starting her final round on the front nine, Aditi picked up shots on the third and fifth holes. On the back nine she started with consecutive birdies on the 10th and 11th holes before she dropped those shots on the 12th with a double bogey.

The double bogey would be her only rough patch during the round. She closed off her round with her fifth birdie on the 16th hole.

Chisato Iwai played the best round of the day to win her first LPGA title.

Iwai opened her final day on the front nine with five birdies in the first six holes. The back nine looked to be a similar story as she birdied the 10th and 13th holes.

Her total score for the tournament was 12 under par for a six-shot win.

LPGA rookie and day three leader Jenny Bae had a poor start to her final day that was in direct contrast to Iwai.
