The Highland Meadows Golf Club hosted the LPGA Tour players this week for the Dana Open. The course located in Ohio is a par 71 of 6555 yards, and had crowned Nasa Hataoka last year.

It is a Mexican who succeeded this week to the Japanese: Gaby Lopez. The 28-year-old, already a double winner on the LPGA Tour, was impressive during this last round to sail towards the final victory. After three rounds in 67-70-66, the Mexican returned her best card of the week, an explosive 63 (-8) closing with three birdies on her last three holes. This fine series of birdies allowed her to win one step ahead of the American Megan Khang. The German Caroline Masson completes the podium.

Nasa Hataoka, defending champion leaves with a top 10 of his week in Ohio. She ranks seventh with cards of 69-66-67-68.

Céline Herbin, the only Frenchwoman to have passed the Cut on the Highland Meadows Golf Club course, finished 24th. Having narrowly passed the Cut, she signed a superb weekend, and in particular a very good card of 65 (-6) on Saturday before closing her tournament with a 68 (-3) on Sunday. This is his best result of the season on the LPGA Tour.
