Mike Haack of Bellevue, Wash. overcame a shaky second round to post a solid final round even-par 72 in winning the 32nd Pacific Northwest Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship. This is the second title for Haack, having also won this championship in 2009.

Haack shot a 3-under par 69 in the first round to set the early pace and jump to the top of the leaderboard, but a second round of 4-over par 76 that included a double bogey and a quadruple bogey allowed Seattle’s Sean Packer a two-stroke lead going into the final round.

But Haack took advantage of a three-shot swing in the front nine of the final round to go on to win the tournament.
