Closing Note

Pacific Grove’s coastline finish rarely gives anything away, and 2026 was no exception—but Ledzinski’s closing 64 turned a crowded leaderboard into a statement win. With familiar contenders returning and the ocean stretch continuing to define the tournament, this championship keeps cementing itself as one of the most compelling two-day tests on the West Coast.

Flashback (2025): Mitchell Hoey won last year with a closing 64 to finish 8-under, while Bob McCallister won the Senior title in a playoff over Daniel O’Connor and Russell Humphrey.
