Shannon Tan, a 21-year-old Singaporean, whose trophy cabinet also includes a China LPGA Tour title (2023), started the final round in fourth place when she was still an amateur and trailed Alice Hewson for a long time. However, with a 67 (-5, six birdies, one bogey), she would have been helpless had the Englishwoman not made things easier for her with a double bogey on the final hole, after three birdies and one bogey (72, par).

The Rules of Golf are a set of standards and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf worldwide, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee composed of members of the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision took effect on January 1, 2016. Amendments to the Rules of Golf are generally divided into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled "Rules of Golf," is published regularly and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation is responsible for overseeing competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring that these rules are observed by clubs, associations, and their members, and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
