Chomyn, who plays at Reedley College, led the charge leading the tourney on the first day shooting a blistering 5-under 67 including a 31 on the difficult back nine, for a two-shot lead over Ryder Epson.

On Sunday, the winds kicked up and scores rose accordingly, with only one player (Kory Frost) breaking par.

Chomyn closed with a 76 while Ryder Henares was able to catch him with an even-par 72, the second low score of the day. The two went to the 10th hole for a playoff after finishing at 1-under-par 143.

Chomyn hit the green and two-putted for par, while Henares bogeyed, giving Chomyn the title.

"It's been a long time coming," said Chomyn, who last tasted victory at the 2017 AJGA Patrick Reed Insperity Invitational in Houston.

There was a three-way tie for third, with Frost, Epson, and Charles Yoo shooting 1 over. Last year’s winner Jackson Rivera was in position to defend after a first-round 70, but a front-nine 41 ended his chances and gave him a sixth-place finish.
