At the turn we had a tie for the lead with half the field within four to five strokes, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion. During the back nine, there was a point where we had a four player tie for the lead. But the last three holes would be the determining factor, and Drake Wehrs emerged victorious with a +2 (74) score, making this his 6th OVERALL VICTORY of his Tour Career and a BACK TO BACK CHAMPION.

Meanwhile we would have a tie for second between Jose Arguello and Ricardo Almeida with a +12 (84), With Jose taking second and Ricardo taking third after the tiebreakers.
