Freshman Jake Tucker (73-77-70-220) improved his standing in the final round after being tied for 61st. Tucker opened on the fifth hole with a bogey and kept a one-over par through the entire back nine before carding a birdie on the second hole to finish the round at one-under par. Tucker's three combined scores made for a finish of tied for 40th with a total score of 220.
