Atlantic Beach, Fla. — The Atlantic Beach Classic concluded on Saturday at the Atlantic Beach Country Club, with Isabella Fierro securing a victory after a final-round 5-under-par 67. The 25-year-old from Mexico finished the 54-hole tournament with a total score of 13-under-par 200, marking her second career win on the Epson Tour. This event served as the season opener for the 2026 tour schedule.
Fierro’s performance during the final round included six birdies and a single bogey, a combination that allowed her to overtake the field. Her cumulative score of 200 set a new tournament record, displacing the previous mark established in 2024. As a result of this win, Fierro moved into the top position in the Race for the Card standings, the season-long points race that determines which players earn LPGA Tour membership for the following year. The competition for the remaining top spots was closely contested. Maria Fassi, Kaitlyn Papp Budde, and Annabelle Pancake-Webb finished in a three-way tie for second place, each ending the week four strokes behind Fierro at 9-under-par.
Fassi, also representing Mexico, moved up the leaderboard on the final day by recording five birdies on the back nine for a 6-under-par 65. Pancake-Webb, who held the lead entering the final round, finished with a 1-over-par 72.
The tournament featured 120 players competing on the course originally redesigned by Erik Larsen. Throughout the three days of play, weather conditions remained consistent with the typical moderate winds of North Florida in March. The Epson Tour will remain in Florida for its next scheduled event. For Fierro, the win provides a mathematical advantage in the early season as she pursues a return to the LPGA Tour.
