In only her second year on Tour, the daughter of Australian pro Wayne Smith battled against a strong wind to card a final round of 68 on her way to a -12 total.
Overnight leader Giulia Sergas of Italy continued a poor run of holes (she dropped three shots on the final two holes of day 3, including a shot for a time penalty) with a bogey, bogey, triple-bogey start to day 4.
This opened the door for the chasing pack and allowed Smith to take the lead with some controlled iron play and sound putting.
Sergas eventually finished tied for second place with America's Tiffany Joh on -9, while the improving Melissa Reid from England and 13-year-old New Zealand amateur sensation Lydia Ko finished tied for fourth on -7.
