Third-year Connor Woodin succumbed to the same fate — he shot three under par in the first round and three over par in the second, but shot a rough 14 over par in the third round. He ended tied for 34th place with a score of 224 (67-73-84).

First-year Cole Beto landed in a tie for 46th place with a score of 227 (75-76-76). Fourth-year Jackson Overton rounded out the Ramblers tied for 60th place, shooting 22 over par for a final score of 232 (77-78-77).
