The first round of the 13th Riggs Open Golf Tournament was played at Baker National Golf Club.  The leader after day 1 was Sean Sinsabaugh , who shot an 81 (1 under his handicap).  The brothers Craig Steen (82) and Mark Steen (84) were right behind him.  Scott Riggs (89), Gary Nagle (87), and Ed Guck (90) also went low on Saturday.

The final round was played at The Links at Northfork.  It came down to a back nine duel between Mark Steen & Craig Steen, and Scott Riggs - with Mark outlasting them to win his first  Riggs  Open  Championship in his very first Riggs Open.  Mark shot a brilliant 76 (and finished the tourney at 6 under his handicap).  His round also included a near hole-in-one on hole #4.  Scott Riggs  finished alone in 2nd (3 under) for his best-ever Riggs Open finish.  Craig Steen (-2), Steve Jensen (+2), and John Bevans rounded out the top 5.
