Titus and Gardner began the final round three shots behind first-round leaders Karen Madison of East Wenatchee and Patty Myers of Olympia, and also had three other teams between them and the leaders. Titus and Gardner then shot the only under-par round of the championship, overtaking three teams and finishing the day tied with Madison and Myers, who had shot rounds of 71-73. Titus and Gardner then won the championship on the first playoff hole.

Titus and Gardner have played together in several team events, having won this championship in 2014, and having also qualified for the 2015 U.S. Women's Four-Ball Championship. In last year's championship, the duo had signed an incorrect scorecard after the second round and were disqualified, so this year's title is especially sweet for them.

"It was a real roller coaster for us," said Gardner. "We'd be going along really well, and then we'd hit a disaster. Yesterday we took a triple-bogey on our second hole, and the last hole today we took a double. We really didn't have an idea where we stood (during today's round). When we started today, we were thinking we would maybe need to shoot 68 or so. When we shot that double-bogey on the last hole we thought we lost it for sure."

Madison and Myers won the championship's net competition, with a two-round total of 11-under. Madison was named the 2015 WSGA Senior Women's Player of the Year, and won the 2016 WSGA Super Senior Women's Amateur.

The format for the WSGA Women's Best-Ball was 36-hole Four-Ball stroke play (gross and net).
