''It's really nice to win this week. I've worked harder this year than I did last year,'' Kwak said. ''I wish my mom was here to see my win, but it feels great to win.''

She earned $15,000 to jump from 37th to fourth on the money list with $19,556. The top 10 at the end of the season will earn 2015 LPGA Tour cards.

Na finished with a 71.

Cindy Feng and Demi Runas tied for third at 2 under. Feng, the money leader with $41,407, had a 71, and Runas shot 69.
