A Flight
It was a 2 player battle for most of the day, as tour veterans Marco Tallerico and Chad Henry put pressure on one another all day. Tallerico grabbed a 1 shot lead at the turn, only to see Henry take the lead after 11. It was back and forth over the last 7 holes, but Tallerico took the lead for good with a par on 17 to earn a 1 shot victory. Tallerico shot 35-40-75, while Henry took second shooting 36-40-76.
B Flight
In the biggest flight of the tournament, 18 holes was not enough to decide a champion. Mac McMillan and tour rookie Chad Jones were deadlocked, both shooting 77 from the blue tees. Both players headed back to the course to decide a winner. When McMillan made the green in regulation, he calming 2 putted for his par and claimed the tournament hardware. Chad Crawford finished in third carding 40-40-80.
C Flight
In another tightly contested battle, Mike Scalera and Brad Reynolds went to the back nine to decide the champion. Reynolds had the lead to start, but ran into a tough stretch from 12-16, where Scalera capitalized and picked up 5 shots during that span. Scalera then put the tournament away with a birdie on 17. Scalera carded 44-43-87, Reynolds shot 42-51-93 and Jeff Schmidt shot 50-46-96 for third place.
