In the final round of the week, Hicks shot 76 for a total of 217. After a bogey to start, he birdied eight and 13 and eagled 16. The Fort Wayne native moved back to even with a birdie on two before an uneven finish, but still earned a top-15 finish.

After a bogey on nine, he birdied 10 before five pars in a row preceded a birdie on 16. He also birdied hole one to start the rest of the front nine before parring his last five holes of the day. Dugan shot 74 in the last round of the week with birdies on holes nine, 16 and two. All of those birdies came in four-hole stretches without a bogey.
