Bandon Dunes to host to the 2026 PGA Professional Championship
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon will host the 2026 PGA Professional...
After firing the only score that was even par or better in the first round and taking a narrow 1-stroke lead into the final round, Lara Tennant of Portland, Ore. was able to escape with a wire-to-wire victory to capture the 2nd OGA Players Championship at Waverley Country Club in Milwaukie, Ore.
With a birdie on the closing hole, she finished the tournament Shooting a 1-over par 72-73–145 on her home course to edge Gregg Guernsey of Vancouver, Wash. by 1-stroke. Guernsey opened the final round scoring a 3-under par 33 and had a 1-stroke lead over Tennant but was unable to keep the pressure on her throughout the round. A barrage of bogeys on holes 11 thru 14 including a double bogey on the difficult par-3 11th was too much to recover from, especially when facing a tenacious experienced competitor like Tennant. Guensey’s sole consolation was earning the top spot among the Senior Division Men who competed in the championship.
