"This is pretty good!" Holpfer said. "This is my last tournament of the season and I’ve had a pretty good season so it’s nice to finish off with a win."

This is one of her biggest wins and she adds it to the Irish Women’s Open, which she won as a 14-year-old, and the Slovenian ladies championship, earlier this season.

Hermitage’s Ciara Casey tied for 16th with Portarlington’s Meadhbh Doyle tied 35th.

Cork’s Rachel Thompson and Hermitage’s Canice Screene missed the cut.
