After posting scores of 69, 68, and 68 in the initial rounds, Ashok played an exceptional bogey-free final round of 66, finishing at 17-under-par. Her performance witnessed consecutive birdies on the 15th, 16th, and 17th holes, which eventually clinched her fifth LET title and her second victory of the season.
