For Phillips, it was the first victory of his career after finishing second once and third four times.
For Cummins, there was some consolation.
The Weatherford, Okla., native's 62 (-9) marked his lowest collegiate round and matched the school's record also held by Blaine Hale. Cummins' 54-hole 193 (-20) also represented the school record, breaking PGA Tour star Abraham Ancer's 195 (-21) at the Desert Shootout in 2011.
"Quade had one of the best events in our program's history and he has worked hard to get to this point," said Hybl. "I am excited to see him continue to reap the benefits of his work."
