The course at the Members Club at Four Streams, a par-71, 6,718 yard course, was orchestrated by Steve Smyers and PGA Tour veteran Nick Price.

Penn State junior Robert Rohanna took medalist honors, firing a three-under par 139 to pace the field of 64 golfers, winning by six strokes over George Mason's J.J.

Senior Tim Moynihan (Murrysville, Pa./Franklin Regional) tied for 15th place at nine-over par 151, shooting a six-over par 78 in the final round.
