Pollock-Pennington defeated top-seeded Alec Berrey and Nick Van Vleet in the championship match.

Billy Pollock and Jack Pennington combined to win the open division at the 4th Oregon Amateur Four-Ball on Wednesday at Emerald Valley Golf Club in Creswell. Meanwhile, Bradley Karns and Mark Bowler triumphed in the senior division.

Pollock-Pennington defeated top-seeded Alec Berrey and Nick Van Vleet in the championship match. The winning duo jumped out to a lead on the first hole and never looked back, holding a 4-up advantage from the 11th hole until the match’s conclusion.

The winners advanced from the No. 6 seed on the 23-team match-play bracket for the championship flight. They prevailed in match-ups against Keith Lobis and Max Dobak (5 and 3), Joey Herrera and Max Murai (2 and 1), Chris Polski and JC Riter (1 up) before their win in the final (4 and 3).

Nine players posted an eagle during the four-day competition. Pollock had an event-best two and was the only player with more than one.

Twelve teams battled in the championship flight for the senior division, with the Karns-Bowler tandem defeating Scott Larsen and Wes St. Clair in the final match (3 and 2).

After an opening-round win over Kirk Schwerzler and Phil Barricklow (5 and 4), the eventual senior champions upset top-seed Tim Cecil and Charlie Rice in the second round (2 and 1), before a semifinal win over Billy Anderson and Larry Watts (3 and 2).

Karns led all players in the senior division with 15 birdies over the competition, while Bowler added 10. They were two of 20 players throughout all divisions to have 10 or more birdies during the event.
