Kadin posted rounds of 75-73 to finish at 4-over par 148 as the weekend brought on quite windy conditions making it difficult to score.

Kadin is now ranked as the #1 Boy on the JTNC Player of the Year standings as he look to build on this momentum heading into the new season.
Runner-up subsequently went to Julien Cho of Monterey, Julien carded rounds of 73-75 for 148. Julien tallied up six birdies over the 36-hole event and couldn't have started the championship any better as he made back to back birdies on the opening two holes. Third place ended in a card-off between David Navarro and Nyles Han at 5-over par 149, Navarro came out on top after the card-off as his second round 73 was enough to triumph over Han's second round 74.
