Her first career win happened nearly two years ago, also at the Ironwood Invitational, during her freshman season.

The Charlotte, N.C. native tallied 14 birdies, 31 pars and nine bogeys during the three-day event with seven birdies during final round action, which tied her second-lowest round of the season and her career. In a field of 89 players, Nash stood first or tied for first in total birdies (first/14), par 4 scoring (first/3.990) and par 5 scoring (t1st/4.75), while tying for sixth in par 3 scoring (3.08).
