Back to back birdies on the fourth and fifth holes in the final round cost Aditi a chance at a higher finish at the 19-year old struggled on the front nine, managing a 39 and three birdies.
She performed much better on the back nine, clocking birdies on the 14th and 17th holes, resulting in her finishing the tournament with a 1-over par in the last round.
Australia’s Minjee Lee finished second a stroke behind China’s Feng and Sung Hyun Park of South Korea rounded off the top three.
