The 2018 first-team All-Pac-12 selection shot a career-low, 62 (-10), in the third round and was able to sustain the lead in the final day. Cunningham shot a 66 on Sunday.
Cunningham joined the PGA Tour Canada following his senior season at Arizona, and now has a win after three starts on the Mackenzie Tour. He made the tour April after he finished third among 132 golfers in a qualifying-school tournament in Phoenix.
Cunningham still has eight tournaments lined up between now and the first week of September.
Next up: Lethbridge Paradise Canyon Open from June 18-24 in Lethbridge, Alberta.
