Onto the final hole green where Aiden Xie drills a tricky putt for par from distance. The Huskie scores a 38 on the day.

More success for the blue and orange as Dylan Kaiman is set up for a long birdie putt to end his day. It’s a little off line, but leaves an easy par tap in for the senior who shoots a round of 37.
