Bresnu secured his first-place finish with a total score of 203 strokes, seven under par, after recording 69, 67, and 67 strokes in the three rounds. This impressive performance earned him his first individual title in the NCAA Division I and a coveted spot in the 2027 Charles Schwab Challenge, a PGA Tour event scheduled to take place in May.

The Royal Moroccan Golf Federation has expressed its pride in Bresnu's accomplishments, highlighting the federation's commitment to supporting Moroccan athletes in their pursuit of excellence in golf. Bresnu's victory serves as an inspiration to aspiring golfers in Morocco and around the world.
