Down 2 strokes with 3 holes to play, Hendrix birdied the difficult 16th.  A bogey for Ellis on the 17th, allowed both players to head to the final hole tied.  Both birdied the 18th to go to a playoff, where Hendrix prevailed.  Hendrix’s final round was bogey-free and included 8 birdies and an eagle.

Reid Davenport and Trevor Brown tied for third place at 11-under (202), with Dalton Hankamer and Michael Rome finishing tied for 5th place at 8-under (205).
