Out west Stanford junior Isaiah Salinda bested defending champion Shintaro Ban of UNLV to win the NCGA Match Play. In the Senior Division Randy Haag defended his title while Frank Pieper won the Super Senior Division.
Finally at the South Carolina Mid-Amateur Four-Ball it was a family affair with uncle Walter Tood and nephew Thomas Todd capturing the title.
