rnHarigae started the final round with a three shot and lead and was never headed as she posted three birdies and two bogeys in a steady display. She became the Tour’s first three-time winner this season and moved to the top of the Money List with US$73,897.00 in season earnings. This leaves her US$6,201.00 in front of Jean Reynolds and more than likely will gain one of the five fully-exempt LPGA Tour cards for 2010.
