The final round was held at the always difficult Links at Northfork. Craig Steen was on fire early, posting a 37 on the front nine, but Gary Nagle would not go away. The two came to the 18th tee tied at 11 under! They both had birdie putts on the 18th green, and Nagle got down in 2 putts for his par (and a finishing score of 11 under par), but Craig missed his par putt (and finished at 10 under). It was the closest Riggs Open finish since 1990! Doug Borsch (-1), Mark Steen (+1), John Bevans (+2), and Jim Taylor (+2) rounded out the top 5 in a historic Riggs Open.
