Tournament began as a shotgun start at Rhodes Ranch. Temperature was cooler than expected (under 102) with slight winds. Course was in good shape. Both teams kept it close, but Team Hashimoto won the day.

Teams met at Triple 7 in the Main Street Casino for lunch and to prepare for the RRC Poker tournament at the Binions later that evening.
Final day was held at the Primm Valley Desert Course just over the California/Nevada border. Once again, weather was nice for this time of year. Team Leong kept the final day close, but Team Hashimoto held on to win the day and close out the tournament.
