- Patrik Vinter sank home seven consecutive pars to open his round, before landing birdie on the 16th hole.
- Walter Carley began the first three holes of each side with a double bogey, before landing par the rest of the round.
- In the second round, it was Vandeputte who performed to near perfection, where he earned par in all but two holes, that were birdies.
- In the third round, Aidan Talent joined the group with a valiant effort put forth with a double digit jump that saw four birdies netted in the round.
- Vandeputte continued his surge, with a 15th hole eagle on a par five, to move him further ahead in the team leaderboard.
QUOTES FROM THE JASPERS

Keith Prokop: "Another great step in the right direction breaking our record again from just one tournament before. Still got a lot of room to grow as I truly believe we have not played even close to our best golf yet. Looking forward to hopefully making that big leap in our last event."
