McNeil is already behind bars on arson charges in connection with the fire.

Ledwein, meanwhile, carded three birdies on the back nine to complete a 2-under 69, matching Smith's Round 2 mark for best score of the 54-hole event.
Burnham, the defending champion, finished her roller-coaster final round with five birdies and six bogeys.
