Pinillos, a sophomore from Peru, led from start to finish and was even par on her final round to finish at 2-under for the tournament. She birdied her second hole of the day, but bogied number three. She then rattled off eight straight pars before bogies on No. 13 and No. 15. That sandwiched in by a birdie on No. 14. She then finished par, birdie and par to claim the individual title and automatic qualifier.
Sara Adams finished in ninth place after a 76 Wednesday. Adams made birdies on three of her first five holes. But on the back nine she had just a single birdie to go along with four bogies and a double bogey.
Finishing just outside the top ten was Marine Legentil after shooting 78. That was good enough for an 11th pace finish. Legentil did have a pair of birdies early on but was unable to register another one over her last 12 holes.
Rounding out the team was Jessica Pilgrim who shot 81 in the final round. Pilgrim had an early birdie but was unable to make another one on the afternoon.
