Tapawingo National Golf Club provided a tight competition and players found much success during the event.
Dan Kohnle had himself a round, making his third-career hole-in-one. It occurred on the 17th hole, which was uphill. Konhle also made a birdie and eight pars for an 82 and the top spot in the Championship Flight.
Daren Green and Josh Wheeler found themselves in a playoff for the A Flight crown. The two were tied up at 39 a piece entering the back nine and both players shot a 40 on that stretch, tying with a 79. Green edged Wheeler in the playoff to earn the win. David Watson placed third with an 84.
Chris Canfield turned a one-stroke deficit heading into the final hole into a one-stroke B Flight victory as the 18th concluded. Canfield erased the deficit and turned it into a win with a par. He shot an 83, a stroke better than Scott Seaborn. Christian Benavides finished in a tie for third with Nick Gruver (86). Benavides forced the tie thanks to an eagle on the 18th.
Tyler Cardwell was the C Flight winner, shooting an 85. Jeramy Wallace placed second (92) while two players tied for third (95): Aaron Brentlinger and Jeremy Place. Scott Nishimura rounded out the top-5 with a 101.
Jeremy Blythe made the shots he needed to down the stretch to capture the win in the D Flight. Blythe shot a 92, edging out Michael Pittroff by one stroke. Both players had two birdies on the round. Greg Cobourn edged out Colin Dooley for third, 96-97. Jeff Black carded a 99, good for fifth.
