Humphrey earned the top seed after shooting a 3-under 68 in the stroke play portion, recording six birdies and three bogeys. He won the qualifier by three shots over Mike Calhoun, George Hale, Rick Corkill, and Ryan Welborn, who all finished T2 at even par.

Humphrey defeated Kevin Jordan 2&1 in the round of 32 and defeated Don Bidinger 1-up in the round of 16. In the quarterfinals, he defeated Greg Chianello 6&5 and in the semifinals, he defeated Kevin Hodes 3&1.

In the final match, he took down David Berlant 2&1 to win his third title in four years.

Humphrey was one down to Berlant heading into No. 9, but he made a chip-in birdie to tie the match and put the momentum firmly in his corner. He won Hole Nos. 11, 12, and 14 to secure the win.

The back nine was into the wind, and Humphrey used that to his advantage.

"My game plan was to get the ball on the putting surface, and that's a good strategy because those holes are so demanding," Humphrey said.
