Guezzale shot a 75 to finish third at 1-under 143, tied with another SDSU teammate Amadeo Figus. Michael Behr finished fifth with consecutive rounds of 72. The defending champion Jack Townsend finished tied for ninth at two over par. In the Senior division, Ken Kubis held on to win in a playoff over John Hoffman.
