Anna Davis of Auburn, Ines Archer of Florida, and Caterina Don of Georgia all finished T2 at 3-under. This was the best finish of the young collegiate career of Davis, who won the 2022 Augusta National Women's Amateur.

Victoria Zheng of Augusta and Louise Reau of Georgia Southern finished T5 at even par to round out the top five.

Auburn standout and 2023 U.S. Women's Amateur champion Megan Schofill shot a first-round 5-under 67, gave her a two-shot lead after the opening 18 holes, but second and third-rounds of 75-77 saw her fall back and finish at T14.

Bernat put together a stellar 2023 campaign, finishing in solo second place in the Spanish Women's Amateur and the European Ladies Amateur and jumping to No. 28 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com Women's Rankings.
