Jordan Krantz, a junior from Vermillion Bay, Ontario, Canada, led the way for the Mavericks for the second straight tournament as he fired a final round 75 to finish in a tie for 12th place. USA's Gareth Maybin led throughout the tournament and captured the individual championship by three strokes after a final round 70.

Landon Allen and Tyrone Mordt each finished in a tie for 30th place after Allen shot a 77 in the final round and Mordt chipped in with a 75. Bryan Baker and Pete Pennington each shot 80 on the final day to finish in 67th and 70th places, respectively.
