Alaska joins the PNGA
The Pacific Northwest Golf Association proudly welcomes the Alaska Golf Association (AGA)...
Tom Brandes of Bellevue, Wash. held on in the final holes to win the 6th Washington State Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, while Amanda Jacobs of Seattle went wire-to-wire to win the 6th Washington State Women’s Mid-Amateur.
The two 36-hole stroke-play championships were held concurrently at Fairwood Golf & Country Club in Renton, Wash.
Brandes had a 7-shot lead after 12 holes of the second and final round but could only watch as Erik Hanson caught fire with birdies on 16 and 17. Brandes held a one-shot lead heading to the final hole. Both players had birdie putts, but both slid their putts by the hole allowing Brandes to win the tournament by one shot.
