Derek took a five shot lead into day two over Lamar Adams. Two early bogies from Derek allowed Lamar Adams to get within three strokes. Derek birdied holes three and four to regain the lead and would not give in from there. Derek finished with scores of 71-73 (E) to take the victory. Our D1 Player of the Year is Max Faure.
