"I went into this year knowing I was good enough to be in the top-three."

The Donevan Collegiate grad shot rounds of 71-67-72-210, to finish at six-under-par. She completed her round Monday after rain halted play Sunday. "I really don't look at the score- board, but I was a little nervous Sunday because the greens were so soft, I was spinning the ball off. I felt like I was getting penalized for good shots." Yeon Lee shot 72-71-71-214, earned $1,113 to finish in third place on the money list with $48,272. Kim earned $ 1,968 after shooting 71 -70-70- 211, but missed out on her LPGA card by just $211, finishing with $48,061. Beth Bauer cruised to the money title, earning $76,467.
