He fired a third-round score of 70 (-1) to move up two places and finish in a tie for seventh place. Hurt grabbed his first top 10 finish of the season and his 11th career top 25 finish.

Junior Kevin Tucker and sophomore Nick Ellis each finished in the top 25. Tucker shot a 70 (-1) in the final round to move up nine spots and finish in a tie for 17th place. This was Tucker's 14th top 25 career finish, placing him in sole possession of ninth place on the WSU all-time career top 25 finishes.

Ellis carded a three-round score of 217 (+4) to finish in a tie for 23rd place, his 11th career top-25 finish.
