Joe Lanza, Michael Putnam and Alex Prugh.
BANDON, OR (August 3, 2005) -- Paced by consistently strong play from Alex Prugh
and Joe Lanza, Washington State Golf Association came from off the pace to capture
its second consecutive Morse Cup Team Championship held in conjunction with the
first two rounds of the 39th Pacific Coast Amateur Championship at Bandon Dunes
Golf Resort.
With the best two of three individual scores counting each day for the team
total Washington State totaled 288 (2 over par) and finished three shots in
front of Alberta GA. Colorado GA finished in third place at 293, a shot in front
of co-first-round leaders Southern Nevada and British Columbia.
Washington State became the fifth association to win back-to-back titles and
the first since Northern California GA won three in a row from 1992-1994.
Prugh had rounds of 72-70, while Joe Lanza posted consecutive 73s to lead the
Washington State contingent. Defending Pacific Coast Amateur champion Michael
Putnam shot 75-74, neither of which was needed for the team win.

ABOUT THE Pacific Coast Amateur
Although its present history only dates from
1967, the Pacific Coast
Amateur Championship's roots make it one of
the
oldest amateur
golf championships in American history. The first
tournament was
held on the links of San Francisco Golf Club at
The
Presidio, April 24-
27, 1901. Championships were held annually
through 1911, all being
conducted in California except for the 1909
championship, which was
held at Seattle Golf Club in Washington. The
Pacific Coast Amateur
then ceased to exist, only to be reconstituted at
Seattle Golf Club on
August 10-12, 1967 with the Pacific Northwest,
Northern California,
Southern California, Oregon and Arizona golf
associations
participating.
Today, 15 member Pacific Rim golf
associations comprise
the Pacific Coast Golf Association. Players can
be
invited to this 72-
hole stroke play event by their Pacific Coast G.A.
member golf
association, or as an individual.
