Grewal had 42 pars among her 54 holes to lead the field of 40 players, ranked second in par three scoring average at 2.83 and third in par four scoring average at 3.93.
Rose Zhang of the USA, the 2020 US Women’s Amateur Champion who is a senior in high school, won the tournament with a 206 score. Isabella Fierro of Mexico and Oklahoma State, finished second at 209. Grewal and Zhang were the only golfers in the tournament to score under par in all three rounds.
