This marks Tamburlini’s third runner-up finish on the LET this year, following similar results at the VP Swiss Bank Ladies Open in September and the Aramco Korea Championship in May. With this performance, she climbs to fourth in the LET Order of Merit and records her 11th top-10 finish in 19 events this season. Tamburlini has opted to skip the season-ending Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España to prepare for the LPGA Q-School Final Qualifying in Alabama in early December.
