Patricia Isabel Schmidt fired an excellent final round of 66 (-6) to win by two shots.

Starting the final round in tied second place, Diksha stayed close to the lead and was at one time just one off the lead after the turn. On the back nine, she gave away three bogeys against a birdie for 72 and finished in a big group at sixth.

India’s other player to make the cut, Amandeep Drall shot 1-under 71 and finished T-24th, also her best finish this season.
