Keffer began the final round solidly with an early birdie at the second hole of the day, then a birdie on the par 5, 6th hole, and a bogey on the ninth hole meant Keffer sat at 3-under-par with nine holes to go. Carlock got off to a hot start on the final day, wanting to make a run at Keffer’s lead. “Being three back of Keffer is never a spot anyone wants to be in,” Carlock said. But, three back of Keffer was no challenge for Carlock. Birdies on holes two, three, and seven with no bogies on the front nine meant Carlock had tied Keffer with nine holes to play.

After a back-and-forth on holes 10-16 on the final nine holes of the championship, Keffer and Carlock were dead even with three holes left to play. Carlock parred the par 3-16th, two putted for birdie on the par 5-17th, and made bogey on the par 4-18th, thinking he may have just lost the championship. Keffer hit an 8-iron over the green on 16, which led to a double bogey and meant he was one shot back of Carlock with two holes to play. Keffer parred 17 and had a 12-footer for birdie on 18 (36th hole of the championship) to force a playoff. Keffer stroked a beautiful putt that was tracking the whole way, hitting the right lip and lipping out. Keffer tapped in for par, meaning Carlock took home the championship.
