Two teams tied for runner-up honors one stroke back with rounds of 59 and second place was decided by a score card playoff. Runner-up honors went to Ty Garrett, Gene Golding, Mike Isley and Aaron Koski. Third place was Pat O'Brien, Tom O'Brien, Nick Kuxhausen and Kirk Kuxhausen.

Nick Tozak of Cheyenne won the Drone Quadricopter raffle donated by Charter-Spectrum.

Kerry Ferguson, who also served as MC, asked to be sure and thank all of the many volunteers who gave of their time to ensure the tournament went smoothly, helping the Foundation in their efforts to raise money for a new bathing spa for their patients.

"This effort would not have been possible without all of you, and you all had to put up with cold, drizzly conditions. Thank all of you, and also all of you golfers," Ferguson said.
