Oregon sophomore wins Pacific Coast

University of Oregon Duck Sophomore Aaron Wise of Lake Elsinore, California has etched his name in Pacific Coast Amateur history with an impressive final round at Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Oregon.

Coming into the final round, Wise sat two strokes back of third round leaders Will Zalatoris of Plano, Texas and Bryson DeChambeau of Clovis, California. Wise got off to a great start, making birdies on holes one and three to get to four under and into the lead he would never relinquish.

Ben Crane, now a touring professional on the PGA Tour, won the 1998 Pacific Coast Amateur at the Eugene Country Club and was a member of Oregon’s golf team.

Wise finished the Championship with rounds of 69-71-68-66-274 (-6). Finishing in a tie for second at four-under was McNealy (70-72-65-69) and Hossler (71-72-69-65) with 276 totals. In a tie for fourth were third round co-leaders Zalatoris (70-67-69-62) and DeChambeau (70-68-68-72) at 278, two-under.

Other notable leaderboard finishers were Jonathan Garrick of Atherton, California (73-73-69-66), Scottie Scheffler of Dallas, Texas (72-68-73-68) and Jared duToit of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada (68-73-72-68). All three finished in a tie for 6th at 281.
