He opened and closed the tournament with matching 4-under 68s, displaying impressive consistency and composure across the three-day event. 

Shoma Taguchi also turned in a solid performance, carding rounds of 69-71-72 to finish 4-under overall. His first-round 69 set the tone, and he maintained steady play throughout the tournament. 

Cole Witherow finished at 1-over-par (73-72-72), bouncing back from his opening round with consecutive even-par efforts. Jack Holtz posted rounds of 71-75-73 to finish 3-over, highlighted by a 1-under 71 to begin the event. 

Parker Etzel showed steady improvement each round, following his opening 75 with a 74 and a final-round 71 to close at 4-over. Competing as an individual, Lance Hamak recorded rounds of 75-75.
