Greg Sanders shot a 72 on Sunday to easily defend his Alaska State Amateur Stroke Play Championship over Casey Cusack, who finished 10 strokes back.

Sanders was a model of consistently fine play, carding a first-round 68 to break from the field and following it up with 72s on Saturday and Sunday.

On Sunday, Cusack shot a 73, the second consecutive day he improved his score. That was enough for him to leapfrog Hal Bret Willardson, who carded an 80 on Sunday, into second place.

The women's championship flight was even more lopsided as 13-year-old Rynae Baca of Wasilla rang up a 22-stroke victory over Jamie Berge to repeat as champion.
