Beginning the day with a six shot lead, Mina Hardin, the defending champion from Fort Worth, Texas , realized that 2009 WSGA Senior Champion Patty Moore was having a good round.  Moore shot a one under 71 for the low round of the tournament but it was not enough to overtake Hardin.   Hardin birdied the 17^th hole which sealed the victory and Moore’s birdie at 18 got her under par but still 2 strokes back.

Patty Brogden finished third, eight shots off the lead with two-time WSGA Senior Champion Anna Schultz finishing fourth.  Claudeen Lindberg from Atlanta, Georgia won the Super Senior Title and finished tenth overall.
