Nelson, the son of Golden Eagle Golf Course pro Don Nelson and Gayle Nelson, rose 11 spots to finish second among 80 individuals. Nelson shot a 146 in the two-day tournament, putting up the best round of the tournament on the second day, April 11. Nelson shot a three-under-par 69. He shot a 77 in his opening round and finished three strokes behind the tournament winner David Rabil of Christopher Newport University.
