PKB Alumna Gina Kim, Rachel Kuehn, Tristyn Nowlin, Emilia Migliaccio, Aneka Seumanutafa joined current tour member Amanda Sambach (Davidson, NC 2021) to represent the swinging girl. Gina Kim and Emilia Migliaccio made the cut, with Kim finishing T13 at six-over-par.

Earlier in the week, Emilia announced that she would forgo a professional career and remain an amateur. With her mother on the bag all week, the Wake Forest standout found herself among the top of the leaderboard thanks to her final round 70 (-2).  Migliaccio eventually lost in a playoff to winner Tsubasa Kajitani on the eighteenth hole.
