Individually, the Phoenix were led by Gustav Fredriksson, who turned in a tournament-best 69 on the final day to climb all the way into 15th place. The freshman bounced back from a 78 on Monday afternoon with five birdies in his closing round, but fell with a triple bogey in his last hole. Fredriksson finished tied for 15th at 219 total shots.

Just one shot ahead was Patrick Chesnut, who capped off a steady week with a 74 to close at 218 (+5), good for a tie for 13th. Chesnut posted 14 pars in his final round, along with a birdie at 12, giving him three rounds of 74 or better for the event.
