In pursuit of the champion, Harris English delivered one of the most impressive rounds of the day, finishing 5-under-par to secure second place on his own at -13. His bogey-free back nine highlighted his determination and experience, providing an exciting finish for the audience.

Emerging talent Chris Gotterup secured third place alone with an impressive round of -4, wrapping up the week at -12.
