# Women's Open: Fefilova-Styer beat Hess 6-1

*Margaret Fefilova-Styer defeated Skylar Hess 6-1 in the National Women's Open final at Harrah's Cherokee.*

CHEROKEE, N.C. — Margaret Fefilova-Styer beat Skylar Hess 6-1 in the National Women's Open final at the Ultimate Pool USA Grand Finals, wrapping up at about 10:01 p.m. ET, collecting the $5,000 top prize at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort.

Skylar Hess reached the final by beating Rachel Lang 6-2. Margaret Fefilova-Styer reached the final by beating Sofia Mast 6-1.

The 128-player event began with group play on Friday and finished with a race to 6 on Sunday evening (7 p.m. ET), closing the women's programme at the festival.

**Why it matters:** The National Women's Open was the festival's biggest women's event, worth $5,000 to the champion — and the night's first of two singles finals, before the National Open decider an hour later.
