Johnson comes back to win Oregon Mid-Amateur
CRESWELL, Ore. (August 24, 2014) – Former University of Portland golfer Joel Johnson's consistent play and plentiful birdies led him atop the leaderboard when the dust settled Sunday after the final round of the 26th Oregon Mid-Amateur Championship.
Johnson sat five strokes off the lead after his first round two-over par 73, which included five birdies, three bogies and two double bogeys, but persistent play and limited mistakes during Sunday’s one-under par 70 left him atop the scoreboard at the conclusion of play, which included four birdies and just three bogies.
Johnson qualified and competed in the 2004 U.S Amateur before his Freshman year at the University of Portland.
