FLORENCE, ORE. (July 10, 2005) -- Adam Hagen of Scappoose, Ore. (St. Helens GC) shot an incredible 2-under par 35-35-70 in difficult conditions that included rain and gusty winds to come from behind and win the Oregon Public Links championship with a two day total of even par 74-70-144. He bested Jack Schneider of Oregon City, Ore. (Eastmoreland GC) by four strokes as well as defending champion Ryan Fery of Beaverton, Ore. (Rose City GC). Local favorite Donald Beaton, a 14-handicap from Florence, Ore. (Sandpines GL) took the Men's Net title with a score of 2-under par.
"It was quite relieving," noted Hagen of his win. He had been runner-up twice before, losing to Jay Poletiek of Portland, Ore. (Rose City GC) in 2001 and Brian Hughes of Portland, Ore. (Eastmoreland) in 2003. His brother Ian, 20 months his senior, won the tournament in 2002.
Hagen, a senior-to-be at the University of Nevada majoring in Spanish with a minor in Business Administration, had one of his better golf seasons this past year earning 2nd Team All Conference honors in the WAC. In his 36-rounds of NCAA play, his scoring average was 72.6. "Next year will probably be my last year as an amateur," commented Hagen who does plan to ultimately turn professional.
Jennifer Jackson of Brookings, Ore. (Salmon Run GC) was playing for more than one at 4-1/2 months pregnant, but was able to maintain her first round lead to win the women's division with 87-86-173, easily defeating Sabrina Greer of Portland, Ore. (Forest Hills GC). Kay Faure, a 40-handicap from Clackamas, Ore. (Forest Hills GC) took the Net crown with a 4-over par net total.
