Homan's win today is his second big one for the year after claiming the Mid Amateur in March. After the rain yesterday conditions were perfect for round 4, the course perfectly manicured and soft receptive greens made for some great rounds. The low rounds for the day go to Kevin Brady and Wilson Furr both shooting three under 69. In total, fourteen players shot under par in round four. Many were present for the awards presentation, where several others were recognized. Cory Williamson received the Mike Magee Medalist for his first round posting of 69.
