Woods , fired a four-under par 69 in the final round at the RACV Royal Pines Resort course on Queensland 's Gold Coast to finish on 16-under , two shots better that 17-year-old Australian amateur Minjee Lee . `` This is a huge accomplishment for me , '' Woods said afterwards at the event sanctioned by the European and Australian Ladies ' Tour . `` All off season I was just getting ready with my coach back home and he told me he thinks that this is my year , my time to finally get a win and to have it this early in the season is exciting , especially with the European Tour and then here in Australia , '' she added . `` I 'm just really proud with how I played this week and followed through all four days and finished strong . '' Woods , who turned pro in 2012 and joined the Ladies European Tour last year , had a one-shot lead after 54 holes and got off to the best possible start in the final round opening up with a birdie .
