SAN JOSE DEL CABO, Mexico -- University of Houston junior Leonie Harm enjoyed her third straight day of par or better to finish third at the Battle at the Beach on Sunday afternoon with a score of 5-under 208.
Harm captured a season-best finish with her performance but enjoyed her fifth straight top-15 showing in 2017-18.
The Gerlingen, Germany, native started her day on the 6,360-yard, par-71 course on a rough note with a bogey on No. 5. Fortunately, she returned to even par with a birdie on the par-4 eighth hole and added another birdie on No. 9.
Harm went on to make birdie on No. 13 and, after enduring two bogeys in a three-hole stretch on Nos. 15-17, rallied with a birdie on No. 18 and closed out her tournament with four straight pars.
UCLA's Lilia Vu posted a 67 in Sunday's Final Round and earned medalist honors with a score of 8-under 205. Wake Forest's Jennifer Kupcho finished second at 206, while Texas' Sophia Schubert and Hannah Wood of Oklahoma tied for fourth at 209.
As a team, the Cougars fired a total of 290 as a group Sunday and tied for fifth with Auburn. UCLA posted a score of 12-under 272 in the Final Round and earned the team championship with a score of 839 to finish three shots ahead of Oklahoma.
