Isabella Fierro’s final round was nothing short of spectacular. Sitting one shot behind the lead heading into Championship Saturday.
the Mexico native felt some nerves as she chased the second victory of her young professional career. The 25-year-old carded six birdies to climb to the top of the leaderboard, starting strong with a birdie on the opening hole before a bogey on the par-4 2nd.
After sharing her nerves with caddie Juani Lebbad, the Epson Tour champion rolled in birdie putts on holes three and six to make the turn at 2-under.
“My hands were just shaking, and I told my caddie, and he goes, ‘This is what we practice for, right?’ Feeling the adrenaline, feeling the nerves—this is what an athlete practices for, and this is how you want to feel,” said Fierro. “So, instead of avoiding that sensation, I just let it pass, and man, it’s the best feeling ever.”
The Oklahoma State alumna kept her steady play going, sealing the deal with back-to-back birdies on holes 14 and 15, plus another on the par-4 17th to finish at 13-under, breaking the 54-hole tournament scoring record by five shots.
Fellow Mexico native Maria Fassi also made a big move on Saturday, starting tied for 10th at 3-under. T
The LPGA and Epson Tour veteran birdied holes three and four, making the turn at 1-under after a bogey on No. 8, then caught fire on the back nine with five birdies, including three straight on holes 12–14. “Mexican women’s golf is growing so much, and Maria didn’t have a great year last year, but she’s the GOAT,” praised Fierro.
“She’s played the Olympics; she’s done everything a pro golfer can dream of. I was cheering for her from a distance, watching her do her thing.”
