Chappell used a birdie barrage (including 2 of the last 4 holes) on the weekend and a tournament leading 25 birdies for the week to best his nearest competitor by a single shot. The victory, Chappell's first official PGA TOUR-sanctioned win, netted him $108,000 and propelled him into the #2 spot on the 2010 Nationwide Tour Money List.

For the tournament, Chappell was 20-under par and put on quite a statistical show – boasting a final round average driving distance of 321 yards and compiling an overall driving distance for the week of over 300 yards. In addition, Chappell annihilated the Par 5's compiling a tournament total of 16-under par with 2 eagles on the Par 5's.
