Breezy conditions made scoring difficult over the course of all 54-hole event. Condon hung around just two shots off the lead after Friday’s opening round, then made a quick jump to the top spot after 36 holes with a second-round 71.
By the time the leaders made the turn Sunday, Condon had a commanding five-shot lead.
By virtue of his win, Condon also earned an automatic selection to represent the Sun Country Amateur Golf Association in the 2019 Pacific Coast Amateur which will be hosted at the UNM Championship Golf Course late next month.
