Easton – an Ayrshire, Scotland, native – fired a 7-under 209 (70-69-69) total across three rounds of play to claim third outright at the par-72, 7,546-yard Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Ariz.
Both the third-place finish and the 209 tally were the best marks of Easton’s career. The 209 score was the top 54-hole effort by a Hilltopper this season and the best in the program since Billy Tom Sargent’s 208 at last year’s Kenny Perry Invitational.
Easton started 2 over through five holes in Sunday’s final round but responded with four birdies and nine pars the rest of the way.
