Sophomore Tyler Wengronowitz was just a shot behind them and tied-for-eighth overall while freshman Nate Choi and six players from other teams were 34th with a score of 78.

The event's shotgun start had the players beginning the round on different holes. Schick finished his day with a birdie on 17 and par on 18 while Wengronowitz, who also started on one, parred 17 and carded an eagle on the 516-yard, par-5 18th hole. Duffer followed up a bogey with a birdie on his final two holes while Petri went birdie-birdie-par to finish his day.

While the Foresters' top five players were winning the tournament, the next five placed fifth as a team with a 304. Junior Ben Shamberg led the group with a 2-over 74, which put him in a tie for eighth overall. Sophomore Alexander Rohlf tied for 20th with a 74 while freshman Brady Green and Tyler Poker were just a shot behind him and 30th in the field. Junior Evan Dybas tied for 47th with an 80.
