He lost his lead early, but made a run on the back nine to shoot a final round 73 (+1). Wyatt finished with a 143 (-1) total, tied with Papillion's Eric Murphy. The two went nine holes in the playoff before Wyatt finally closed out the win with a par on the 18th hole. Visit the Scoring tab above for full results, and read the recap below.
