The win gives McCulloch a spot at the 2024 RBC Canadian Open at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club.

Phil Arci of Woodbridge, Ont., finished second at 2-under.

Jordan Gilkison of Washington Township, Ohio, and Caleb VanArragon of Blaine, Minn., finished tied for third at 1-under.

“I got off to a slow start yesterday, like I said, and just willed the ball in the hole a couple of times on the back,” McCulloch said. “Today, I kept on saying to my best friend on the bag, the gas pedal is on the right … got to keep on going and they’ll fall, and I just kept hitting good shots and got lucky enough they went close enough that I could make them.”
