- Haden Ruby (77-71-70) came in a tie for 25th place following a career-low round score of one-under par 70. He went one-under through the first nine holes, three birdies and two bogeys, before going even-par on the back nine with two more birdies & bogeys.
- Also placing in a tie for 25th, David D'Agostino (76-72-70) shot a one-under par 70 as well for the round. He was one-over at the turn and then shot a two-under the rest of the way. A biggest highlight of the day for him was scoring an eagle on hole number 14, which was a par five (474 yards).
- Cooper Hrabak (79-71-72), who placed in a tie for 40th, posted a one-over par 72 in his final round. He opened up strong with two consecutive birdies but later recorded four bogeys. He ended the day on high note by making one last birdie to help negate one of the bogeys.
