Behind Rhodes, German player Helen Briem secured third place with a total score of 208 (-11), followed closely by Irish golfer Lauren Walsk and Swedish player Kajsa Arwefjall in fourth place with 209 (-10). The competition was fierce, with players like South Africa’s Kiera Floyd and Swiss player Chiara Tamburlini also putting up strong performances.
