For Fryatt, his victory on Sunday was his third SNGA win of the season to go along with victories at the SNGA Match Play and Mid-Amateur. Fryatt has also tied for second at the Crane Cup and Carlton Woods.
Craig Erickson and John Turk were 13-over and in second, Jack William Trent (+15) was fourth and Cyrus Whitney (+16) placed fifth.
