The first two rounds were held at nearby Champions Retreat in Augusta, Georgia. The field was cut to the low 30 players with the final round being held at Augusta National.

She shot 71-73-72=216 for the event and finish in a tie for 7th place. Moore said, "I was just grateful and blessed to be out there, just knowing that Augusta was really strictly only open to men at one point. And for them to now have women be able to go out there and play, and the top amateurs out there it was just amazing. I just enjoyed the experience while I was there."[6]
