Texas golfer claims Pacific Coast Amateur

Celebrating it’s 50th installment at the Seattle Golf Club, the Pacific Coast Amateur has crowned a new champion in Will Zalatoris of Plano, Texas.

Zalatoris, a collegiate player with Wake Forest, came into round four two-strokes off the pace-setters in the final group. After teeing off on the first hole a group ahead of round three leaders Nahum Mendoza and Rico Hoey of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., Zalatoris exuded confidence in his quest to become champion.
