FCG Pacific Northwest Championship

Chambers Bay Golf Course

University Place, Washington

  FINAL FIELD RESULTS

The fourth FCG World Series Event of the year was held at the host site of the 2015 U.S. Open of golf, Chambers Bay is a relatively new course comparatively, but it is something special.  In typical links style fashion, the weather proved to be a challenge all weekend. The wind and rain and temperatures were reflective of its location along the Washington coast. Highlighted by the course and a great college talk from Casey Martin, head golf coach at University of Oregon, FCG really enjoyed their time in the Pacific Northwest.

FCG is very pleased with the turnout and reception that we received for our first time visiting the Pacific Northwest. The course staff, players, parents, and everyone else involved were fantastic and we look forward to returning next year. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible.

Boys 15-18 Division:

Eric Ansett (Spokane, WA) was in second place after he shot a 79 on Saturday but was able to jump up into first place after another 79 on Sunday. Nick Baines (Portland, OR) who had the lead going into Sunday after shooting a 74, struggled on day two and shot an 86 which dropped him down into second place. Baines would finish the tournament at 16-over par, 160. Gregory Gildea (Lakewood, WA) finished up in third place for the Championship. Gildea put together two solid rounds of 80 and 81 over the two days to finish at a tournament total 161, 17-over par.

Girls 15-18 Division:

Gigi Stoll (Beaverton, OR) known as one of the best women’s golfers in the country was able to win her division by 9 shots. She only led by 1 after the first day but was able to distance herself from the field on day two with a solid 76 to finish the tournament at 161, 17-over par. Sarah Archuleta (West Linn, OR) was able to put together two consistent rounds of 86-84—170 to finish in second place at 26-over par. Coming in third place was Sarah Lawrence (Duvall, WA). She was tied for second with Archuleta after a day one 86 but fell back into third place after a second day 91 to finish the tournament at 33-over par 177.

Boys 13-14 Division:

The Boys 13-14 division needed a three-way playoff to decide the winner. Listed below are the players in the playoff and what they shot over the first two days of the tournament:

Luke Doss (Seatac, WA) – 83-83—166

Callum Davison (Duncan, BC) – 84-82—166

Benjamin Gruher (Camas, WA) – 77-89—166

Once the playoff began, it did not take long for the outcome to be decided. Doss made par on the first hole and that’s all it would take for him to claim the win in the division. There was then a card-off for second and third place, which Davison won by shooting the lower of the two rounds on Sunday.

Girls 13-14 Division:

Although there were only three participants in this division, so everyone was guaranteed to place top-3, it was still one of the most competitive divisions in the tournament. All three players finished within 5 shots of each other. Renee Kwak (Snohomish, WA) led from the beginning after shooting an 85 on Saturday followed up by an 89 on Sunday for a tournament total of 174, 30-over par. Kiana Oshiro (Medford, OR) and Kenedee Peters (Olympia, WA) were battling for second place throughout the final day of the tournament. Oshiro was able to finish in second after shooting 87-89 for a tournament total of 176, 32-over par. Peters finished up in third place after a 92 on day one and a much-improved 87 on Sunday. Peters finished the tournament at 35-over par,  179.

Boys 11-12 Division:

The Boys 11-12 division was our largest division this tournament and also contained some of the lowest rounds of the tournament. Tucker Allen (Granbury, TX) had the low round of the tournament on Saturday with an even-par 72, he followed that up with an 80 on Sunday to finish the tournament at 152, 8-over par. Coming in second place was David Hu (Vancouver, BC). He shot an 81 on the first day, but came back strong on Sunday and fired off a 75, which was good enough to land him second place in the division. Rounding out the top three finishers is Alvin Kwak (Snohomish, WA). Kwak actually finished in a tie for third but was able to win the card off because he shot a lower score (81) on Sunday. Kwak shot 76 on Saturday, which helped propel him to a third, place finish in the tournament.

Girls 11-12 Division:

Being the only participant in her division, Brittany Kwon (Bremerton, WA) was automatically awarded first place, but that did not stop her from playing with the Girls 13-14 division and putting together two very respectable rounds. Kwon shot 86-88 to finish the tournament at 30 over par.
