On the women’s side, Katy Rutherford from the Silver Springs Golf & Country Club was the professional women’s champion after shooting 18 over-par and Sydney Bisgrove, representing the Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club, was the women’s amateur champion after finishing six over-par.

Red Deer’s Jared Nicolls finished sixth in the professional men’s leaderboard at seven under-par and Bennett Love, also from Red Deer, completed the amateur men’s championship tied for 11th at even par. Innisfail’s Joe Kelly was close behind at three over-par.
