Four rounds, four iconic courses, and a fitting finish to the 25th Two-Man Links Championship on the Oregon coast.
Some tournaments mark a date. Others define a season. The AmateurGolf.com Two-Man Links Championship at Bandon Dunes continues to do both.
Now in its 25th year, the championship once again brought players from across the United States and beyond to Bandon Dunes for four days of walking golf, competition, and connection.
That spirit remains at the heart of the championship—part competition, part pilgrimage, and part shared experience on one of the game’s greatest stages.
Players experienced the latest Callaway Quantum woods and were fit for Fujikura VENTUS shafts throughout the week at the Practice Center.
From demo sessions to on-course performance, both brands played a key role in the championship experience.
Round 1: Old Macdonald
The championship opened at Old Macdonald, where bold greens and strategic angles immediately tested the field.
Jeff Eiserman and Monte McNew led early with a 68, while Duke and Shane Heise positioned themselves just behind in Father & Son.
Round 2: Sheep Ranch
Perfect day at Sheep Ranch. Bright sun, barely a stitch of wind—and scoring followed.
The highlight came from Duke and Shane Heise, who fired a stunning 58 (-14), one of the lowest rounds in event history.
Jacob Phillips and Mark Phillips added a 61 to surge in net, while Tim Daniels delivered one of the day’s best performances with a 66.
Round 3: Pacific Dunes
Pacific Dunes shifted the championship. Precision replaced power, and the leaderboard tightened.
Contenders emerged in the Open Division, while the Heise duo continued to build separation in Father & Son.
Final Round: Bandon Dunes
The championship returned to Bandon Dunes for the final round, where firm conditions and coastal winds demanded complete control.
Austin Gregory and Jeff DeLarme delivered the decisive round, closing strong to claim the Open Division title.
Duke and Shane Heise completed a dominant week to win Father & Son, while Eiserman and McNew captured the Senior Division.
Moments That Defined the Week
Phil Stegemann, 70, shot his age with a 69—one of the most memorable moments of the championship.
Across four rounds, players experienced the full spectrum of Bandon golf—from calm scoring days to demanding coastal tests.
A Championship That Endures
For 25 years, this championship has introduced players to Bandon Dunes—and kept them coming back.
It is competition. It is connection. It is the purest form of the game.
Four rounds. Four courses. One unforgettable tradition.
