CHOUDRANT, La. — Nathan Woodham earned a share of the individual title at the Argent Financial Classic, finishing at 10-under-par 206 to tie for first Tuesday at Squire Creek Country Club.

He played the front nine in 2-under par with four birdies and four pars before adding three birdies and four pars on the back nine.

Freddie Surgey climbed six spots on the leaderboard to finish inside the top 15 after posting a 2-under-par 70.

Surgey recorded five birdies and 11 pars, including a bogey-free front nine with four birdies.

Rory Bennett and Filip Widepalm each recorded four birdies during the final round.

Bennett closed with a 1-under-par back nine, carding six pars and two birdies.

Woodham shared the individual title with Louisiana Tech's Oskari Schuvalow, who fired a 4-under-par 68 in the final round.

The Cardinals recorded 53 birdies during the tournament, the third-highest total in the field.
