With a cumulative score of 282 (-6), he defeated his closest follower, American Brooks Copka and South African Louis Oostoysen, with two strokes.

Corey Konners from Canada fought back on the last day. He played above level and fell seven places, to finish his championship in a draw in 17th place, with a cumulative accumulation of 288.

The remaining Maple Leaf actor, Adam Haddwin, played the 72nd in the final round. He still finished 14 hits behind the leader, with 296 (+8) accumulative, tied for 64th.
