The Tate & Lyle Players Championship is the longest running tournament, and only major championship, on the Duramed FUTURES Tour. Sloan ended the tournament with a 72-hole total of 276, to conclude the tournament at four-under par. Former Illini Seul Ki Park finished in a tie for 11th, after a 72-hole total of 275, to finish five-under par.

Dilger, playing the first round at the par-74 Recreation Park Golf club, shot a six-over par 80. In Friday’s second and final round, contested at the par-72 Eldorado Golf Club, Dilger fired the low round of the day with a one-under par 71.
