Prosperity native Anthony Gagliardi finished 30th overall out of 51 contestants that competed.

Despite not winning any money, Gagliardi did pick up 51 points along the seven stage tour that contribute to his overall point total. The tour will conclude on Aug. 6-9 in Sandusky, Ohio at Lake Erie. He is currently sitting 40th overall with 91 total points so far this season.
