Prior to the start of Sunday's final round, the Eagles returned to the course in the morning to complete the remaining holes of round two after play was suspended Saturday due to darkness.

Nolan Harper led the way for the Eagles, finishing in a tie for 12th at 1-under par for the tournament. After solid play through the first two rounds, Harper delivered one of the low rounds of the day on Sunday, firing a 3-under 67 that featured steady ball-striking and key birdies on both nines to climb the leaderboard.

Sacha Ruiz finished in a tie for 40th at 5-over par, capping his weekend with a 2-over 72 in the final round. Sebastian Gamboa placed in a tie for 67th at 10-over overall, carding a 4-over 74 in the final round.
