Alabama State's other individual competitor, Patricio Minondo, shed eight strokes off his opening 18 holes and recorded a 74 (+2) to close out the event in strong fashion.

Mbongeni Maphosa Jr. continued his recent string of solid play with a 74 in round two to finish tied for 14th. Thacher Neal and Noel Sims each turned in two-day totals of +4 and finished in a four-way for 10th. Thomas Caddell was steady each round (73-73) and grabbed a top-ten finish (T7). Rounding out the Alabama State golfers was Ben Swaffield, who carded his low round for the tournament with a final day 73, vaulting him up to 18th place overall.
