Twenty-year old amateur, Nick Dunlap, carded a tournament record 72-hole score of -29 to become the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson at the 1991 Northern Telecom Open. 

Dunlap won by a shot after a final day in which sometimes he was in the solo lead, sometimes Sam Burns was — and sometimes there were joint leaders, with Kevin Yu making it a three-way tie at the head of the leaderboard at one stage.
