Playing the 18th hole of Riverside Country Club with an eight-stroke lead Sunday, Fishburn was “a little disappointed” that his drive failed to reach the green of the 415-yard hole.

As for having his chip-shot bid for an eagle miss the hole by 2 inches, Fishburn could live with that outcome. He tapped in for a birdie, giving him a 26-under-par total in three days and a nine-shot win over defending champion Zahkai Brown of Colorado.

Brown claimed the $20,000 check as the top professional, explaining his fist-pumping responses to clutch putts on the last few holes, even while hopelessly trailing Fishburn.
