Molder, a PGA Tour professional, and Strickland of Whisper Rock Country Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, posted a one-stroke victory with a 14-under two-day total of 129, besting five-time PGA Tour winner Nick Watney and his partner, Jordan Scott, who were the big movers Sunday with a 10-under round.

Defending champions Scott Heyn and Corby Segal, who were tied for 20th place at 1-under after the first day, came in fourth with a two-day total of 134.

Former Cal Poly star Geoff Gonzalez and Thomas Lehman of TCU — whose father, longtime PGA Tour pro Tom Lehman, served as his caddy — tied for fifth with Dino Giacomazzi and Josh Warthen at 8 under.
