Herrmann made three birdies during the final round.

“On behalf of everyone at Georgia State, we would like to thank Mirabel Golf Club, Maui Jim, all of the sponsors, volunteers and support staff for putting on an incredible event. We also have to thank all of the members were so supportive of this first year event.”
