Emma Talley turned in her best showing of the season on the LPGA Tour in Hawaii.

Talley finished tied for 19th after shooting 3-under-par 285 over 72 holes in the LOTTE Championship presented by Hoakelie at Ewa Beach in Oahu. That event wrapped up on Saturday.

Talley earned $22,854 after carding consistent rounds of 72, 71, 70 and 72.

The former Caldwell County High School and University of Alabama star hit 46 of 56 fairways over the four days and averaged 29 putts a round. She hit 51 of 72 greens in regulation.

Talley finished nine shots behind the leaders.

Australian rookie Grace Kim won the tournament at Hoakalei Country Club for her first LPGA Tour title, beating Yu Liu and Yu Jin Sung with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff after the three finished regulation with identical 12-under scores.

Next up on the LPGA Tour is The Chevron Championship at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas.

Talley is in the field for that event, which has first round action set for Thursday.
