Griffin Stein closed out the 2026 Chaska Invitational at 7-under 137, opening with a 68 — the low round of the championship — and backing it up with a 69 across Chaska Town Course and Hazeltine National Golf Club.

Kieley Hanson took the girls division at 150, rounds of 73 and 77 over the same 36 holes.
