These teams of one PGA Professional and one amateur each fired 10-under 134 over the course of the two rounds.

“I love to compete and challenge myself. I had fun. It feels good to shoot below my age,” said Coston, who shot rounds of 65 and 72. He previously won this event in 2006 and 2018.

Asked about his thoughts on this victory, Coston replied, “It has been a lifelong pursuit, study and passion. I feel convicted about what I’ve learned and owned of the mental mindset, technical template, strategy, visual imagery, measurable practice and creating a moment for The Moment.”
