On the final day, Wolf had a one-shot lead as she opened up with a birdie from close range and then her advantage kept on improving while McLaren ended up having back to back bogeys from the 2nd hole.
At the par-5 4th, Wolf made a four-foot roll and then made a 10 feet birdie on the 9th hole to have a two-shot lead over Skarpnord, who earlier had made 3 birdies.
