Amateurs dominate the field at Wildhorse Golf Club, occupying eight of the first nine spots in the leaderboard
Other amateurs who garnered top-10 finishes include Camryn Carreon (-10; t-3), Melena Barrientos (-10; t-3), Annabelle Pancake (-10; t-3), Michelle Liu (-6; t-7), Farah O'Keefe (-6; t-7), Isabel Sy (-5; t-9) and Minji Kang (-5; t-9).
Nielsen, a native of Horsholm, Denmark, started the final round three shots behind the leaders. She came out of the gate with three straight birdies which led to a front nine 32. She carded two more birdies on the back nine before play was suspended with three holes remaining in her round. After a one hour and fifty-seven minute delay, she finished with three straight pars, enough to claim the title by one shot.
Throughout the final round, Nielsen was also battling food poisoning. “I didn’t really think about winning, I just wanted to be done and finish so that I didn’t do all this work for nothing. I am really happy that it resulted in me winning,” said Nielsen.
The low professional in the field this year was Canadian Kelsey Sear. She fired 3-under-par rounds of 68-71-69 to finish the Championship at 8-under-par.
