She began the day by playing with handicap 24 and after playing 18-holes; she returned with a score of 37 points to carry the day and the enviable slot for herself.
She took home a trophy, as well as return Business Class flights with Turkish Airlines to the TAWGC, all-expenses-paid stay at the 5-star Titanic Deluxe Belek resort, a two-round Grand Final at Titanic Golf Club and season tickets to attend the Turkish Airlines Open, which will be held at Regnum Carya Golf and Spa Resort, Belek, Antalya.
She will also participate in the TAWGC finale, which presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in the Pro-Am of the Turkish Airlines Open for the winner.

The Nearest-to-the-Pin winners were claimed by Aileen Conteh and Jack Yang in their respective female and male categories.
