Craig Ronne finished 4-under par to win the Open Division at the 69th Oregon Men’s Stroke Play Championship held Aug. 6-8 at Emerald Valley Golf Club in Creswell.

Ronne held the early lead posting birdies on three of his first four holes in Sunday's final round, but gave back all three strokes by hole No. 10. After a bogey on No. 17 dropped him into a three-way tie for first, Ronne rebounded with a clutch birdie on No. 18 to seal the victory.

He opened the event Thursday posting a 1-over par 73, followed that up with a 5-under par 67 in Friday’s second round which included six birdies offset by one bogey.
