She started the final round one stroke behind the leader but shot a 4-under 67 in the final round to register a one-stroke victory. Speaking of her performance, Lin said (via LPGA):

"I was actually super nervous. I mean, this is my first time ever being in this position and first time ever winning a professional tournament. But my coach yesterday was prepared for me. He was like, you're going to be very, very nervous. You know, just would be prepared about that. And then just deep breath. Try not to fight it instead of accepting it. And I tell you, I know I'm nervous. You know, I know I'm shaking. But, just deep breath and yeah, I think I did a pretty good job for the first time.”

She also expressed her happiness at securing the LPGA Tour card, saying:

“That's definitely a dream come true. I mean, honestly, coming into this week, I was just trying to get out of stage two because with my where my ranking is at and, I knew I had a chance. I was in contention. And the I mean, I don't even know if winning was good enough to get it, the 15th card. But, you know, everything worked out perfectly,” Heather Lin said.
