Bert ended the tournament at 4-under-par 212 (70-71-71). For the tournament, Bert totaled 28 pars, 14 birdies and one eagle. Her eagle came on Hole 15 of the final round, a 501-yard par five, which he handled in three strokes.
Behind Bert’s third place performance was teammate Hollie Muse (Liverpool, England) who finished in a tie for eighteenth place at 3-over-par 219 (73-74-72).
Alex Crafton (Lake Mary, Fla.) had the low round for the Bucs in Wednesday’s final round as she shot a 5-under-par 67. Crafton shot and even-par 36 on the front before shooting a 5-under-par 31 on the back nine that included three birdies and an eagle.
