His first round was notable, as he shot a three-under 69, including five birdies—three of which were on the back nine. Rascon encountered difficulty in the second round with a score of 79 but recovered in the final round with a two-under 70.

Baptiste Labeyrie and Maverick Schwabe also represented WIU in the top 30.
