Junior Camille Chevalier posted her best round of the tournament with a 74 on Sunday to place tied for 50th (78-78-74/230). Chevalier was even par after nine holes thanks to birdies on 12 and 15 erasing bogeys on 11 and 14. Her steady play continued over the final nine holes with seven pars, settling in after back-to-back bogeys on three and four.
