Epson, results
Wison began her final round with a triple bogey on the fourth hole, but then mounted a decisive comeback and, with eight birdies for a 67 (-5), edged Daniela Iacobelli and Thailand's Trichat Cheenglab by two shots. Cheenglab, who finished second with a 207 (-9), will lead the Ladies European Tour rankings in 2023.
Riley Smyth and Denmark's Nicole Lorup are in fourth place with a 208 (-8), Zoe Antoinette Campos and Hailey Jones are in sixth with a 209 (-7), and among the six competitors, Canada's Brooke Rivers, who had been leading after 36 holes, is in eighth place with a 210 (-6).
Yana Wilson, a 19-year-old from Henderson, Nevada, moved to the top of the Race for the Card (order of merit), which at the end of the season will award the top 15 players with 2026 LPGA Tour cards. She holds the lead thanks to her two titles, but also to only one cut in 16 appearances and nine top-ten finishes overall. She received $30,000 of a $200,000 prize pool.
Roberta Liti, 30, has had an inconsistent run, but has cashed for the fourth time in her last five appearances, including ninth place in the Greater Toledo Classic. She is 50th in the order of merit, a placement that allows her to retain her card.
The Rules of Golf are a set of standards and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf worldwide, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee composed of members of the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision took effect on January 1, 2016. Amendments to the Rules of Golf are generally divided into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled "Rules of Golf," is published regularly and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation is responsible for overseeing competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring that these rules are observed by clubs, associations, and their members, and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
