Davis Evans of Phoenix came away with the victory after edging out Gilbert’s Mason Andersen on the first playoff hole with a par on the par-4, 9th of Forest Highland’s Meadow Course. Evans, who finished regulation play at 72-70—142 (two under par), notched his first victory of the season. Tucson’s Trevor Werbylo finished one stroke off the pace to secure a solo-third-place finish, 72-71—143.

The girl’s side featured a two-player duel between Scottsdale’s Kelly Su and Ashely Menne of Surprise. Both fired solid final rounds – Su with a one-under 71 and Menne with a two-under 70 (lowest two rounds of the tournament) – but in the end, Su (73-71—144) outlasted Menne (75-70—145) by a stroke. Su adds this win to two others this season, Tucson City Jr Championship-Tucson Conquistadores in May and Junior World Qualifier in June. Megan Knadler of Phoenix took home third-place with a score of 74-74—148.
