Players accumulated points during the tournament using the modified Stableford system. Pampling had the most with 31 points, followed by Cejka with 29 and American Tom Pernice with 27.
In women's golf, American golfer Meg Mallon overcame a four-stroke deficit on the final six holes to win the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic in Toledo, Ohio.
Mallon birdied three of the last four holes Sunday, including a three-meter putt on the 18th, for a one-stroke victory over Karen Stupples of England and defending champion Se Ri Pak of South Korea.
Mallon closed with a 3-under-par 68 for a 7-under 277 to win her third event this year. She also won the U.S. Women's Open and Canadian Open on consecutive weeks last month. Women's British Open champion Stupples and Pak missed birdie putts at the 18th to force a playoff. Pak was trying to become the second LPGA player to win an event five times.
