UW golfer Chris Williams claims Pacific Coast Amateur

Chris Williams shot a course record 66 for a second-consecutive day at Martis Camp Club to win the 45th Pacific Coast Amateur in Truckee, Calif.

Williams, who will be a junior this fall at Washington, finished at 11-under 277 to claim medalist honors by two strokes. He entered the final round at the par-72 course trailing by three strokes. A pair of eagles highlighted Williams’ record-setting round.

For Williams, the win was his second in three events that make up the West Coast swing. He also won the Sahalee Players Championship earlier this year.
