Erwin wins Senior Oregon Open

PGA Professional Todd Erwin of Tacoma Firs GC (Tacoma, Wash.) won the Senior Oregon Open Invitational at Wildhorse Resort by going low. Real low.

Erwin won the tournament by six strokes over PGA Professional Mark Keating of Pumpkin Ridge GC (North Plains, Ore.) and PGA Professional Scott Krieger of Broadmoor GC (Portland).

Erwin’s three-day score of 197 tied the previous tournament record that Chuck Milne of Vanco Driving Range set back in 2005. Low amateur honors went to Jay Sutton of Banbury GC (Eagle, ID) who finished in fifth place.

With the praise and popularity that the resort received the past eleven years, the Section was eager to reschedule the same venue. The golf course is designed by John Steidel and is nestled at the base of mountains and wide open terrain. Wildhorse Golf Course is modeled after a traditional Scottish links-style course with plenty of bunkers and tall grass lurking to make you work a little harder than usual.
