Madison DeRousse led the Prairie Stars with a three-round total of 231, which placed her 15th in the field. Included in that was an even-par 72 for the first round. That was the seventh round in program history of even par or better. DeRousse started that round on hole 12 and was two-over after 12 holes. She then birdied the par-three sixth hole, had four straight pars, and finished her round with another birdie. For the tournament, she had 31 pars and six birdies.
