It was another full field for the 2025 Washington State Par-3 Championship held at Highlands Golf Course in Tacoma.

It might have been a different year but it was the same champion from last year as Brett Manke won the tournament and the Tartan Vest that goes along with the championship.

Manke put together rounds of 60-54 for a 114 total to win the tournament by one shots over Jahan Bains and Sam Highsmith.

It was the first time in tournament history that the winning score at the Washington Par-3 Championship had been over par.

Mitch Peterson led the tournament after the first round with a 56 while Koen Solis was right behind with a 57. Manke shot a 60 in the first round and was four back.  But in the second round Manke got hot and finished with an even-par 54 to win the championship.

The event had a waiting list to play again.
