Freshman Triston Gardner (79-72-69-220; +4) carded the Blazers low round of the tourney with a 3-under 69 to post his second-straight top-10 showing as he finished tied for eighth overall, while senior Nicklaus Britt (72-76-74-222; +6) fired a two-over 74 on his final loop en route to a season-best t-12th place result. Freshman Noah Schone (72-78-75-225; +9) finished in solo 18th after a final round 3-over 75, followed by sophomore Spencer Wallace (77-73-85-235; +19) in t-64th place, and freshman Grant Wilson (82-74-89-245; +29) in t-93rd place.
