It also ended a long title drought for Ridhima, who has been looking for form and rhythm. She last won in 2021 in January in Prestige, Bengaluru and then in December at Tollygunge, Kolkata.

Pranavi Urs, who was in joint lead after the second day, dropped a bogey on the second hole. With Ridhima picking up birdies on first and third, Pranavi fell three behind and was unable to catch up for the rest of the day. Pranavi's chances seemed to have vanished with a double bogey on Par-4 seventh, though she did have a birdie on 10th. She had a chance to be sole second, but bogeys on 16th and 18th dropped her to joint second. She had one birdie against three bogeys and a double in her 76.
