Robert Dargan of and Jon O’Brien, both of Columbia, S.C., finished in second place and Thomas Todd and Matt Wiggins, both of Laurens, S.C., finished in third.

Truesdale and Lightsey’s final round of 64 consisted of seven birdies and was highlighted by a Lightsey hole-in-one on the par-3 fifth hole. At the end of the day, the Championship duo found themselves in three-way tie after the team bogied their final hole of the day, the 405-yard, par-4 second hole.

After making all pars on the first five holes of the playoff, a Lightsey birdie on the par-4 sixth capped their title run.
