Never having missed the cut in eight previous visits, Young extended that streak to nine as she shot 72 and totalled 2-under 286 to win by one shot over four others who tied for second.
Young amateur Mannat Brar (76-75-71-70) had the double honour of top amateur and was also the best-finishing Indian in tied 11th place on 4 over par 292, with professionals Pranavi Urs and Hitaashee Bakshi tied for 15th two strokes behind the teenager. They were 6-over 294.
Tvesa Malik was T26 on 9 over 297 while Ridhima Dilawari and Vani Kapoor shared 31st place on 10 over 298.
"The last two days were a mix for me," Mannat said after her sound. "I wasn't at my best with the irons, but my short game made up for it. Today and yesterday, though, I really started hitting my irons well and had a great feel for the greens. I could read the slopes and use them to my advantage, which helped me perform well over the four days.
"I've had a strong amateur career so far, being ranked as India's top player for quite a while.
I've represented India internationally, and this event was another highlight I'm genuinely proud and grateful to be in this position."
Winner Young's delayed birthday will double, as her daughter's birthday comes around in two weeks.
