For Rodes, it was his sixth top 10 showing of the year and the ninth of his stellar career, as he pieced together rounds of 75, 69 and 73 for the top spot among EMU golfers.

Nic Ross (Dundas, Ontario, Canada-Highland Secondary) and senior Philippe Weppernig (Lucerne, Switzerland-Kantonsschule Alpenquai Luzern-Owens C.C.) completed the EMU lineup in a tie for 35th at 225.

Playing for the first time as an Eagle, junior Tyler Lewis (Ortonville, Mich.-Brandon-Mott CC) posted a final round 71 to take 31st with a 224 (78-75-71).
