Cory Mehl added another chapter to his impressive history at Whitefish Lake Golf Club, rallying from three shots behind to win the 2026 Harry Andrus Memorial with a final-round 3-under 69 and a 54-hole total of 9-under 206. The former Santa Clara University standout, now representing Whitefish, captured the championship for the third time after taking advantage of a rare off day from 36-hole leader Andrew Medley, whose opening-round 65 had given him control of the tournament before a closing 74 dropped him to third.
Mehl's victory was built on consistency over all three rounds. After opening with a 70, he vaulted into contention with a second-round 67 before sealing the title with four birdies against a lone bogey on Saturday. Sean Ramsbacher of Missoula made a strong bid with rounds of 72-66-70 to finish alone in second at 7-under 208, two shots behind the champion, while Medley settled for third at 6-under 209.
The annual Fourth of July weekend event once again produced a dramatic finish as the leaderboard shifted throughout the final 18 holes. Caleb Myers of Lewistown fired the low round of the day, a 4-under 68, to climb into a tie for fourth at 5-under 210 alongside Phoenix's Hank Miller. Mehl, a two-time All-West Coast Conference selection at Santa Clara who has become one of the Whitefish area's top amateur players, continued his remarkable success in the tournament by adding another Harry Andrus Memorial title to his growing résumé.
WOMEN'S DIVISION
Jasi Somrock captured the women's title with a wire-to-wire victory, posting rounds of 74-72-76 to finish at 8-over 222 and win by seven strokes over Isabella Johnson at the Harry Andrus Memorial. Somrock built her advantage with the tournament's low round, an even-par 72 on Friday, then closed with a 76 to comfortably secure the championship despite challenging final-round conditions. Johnson finished second at 15-over 229, while Teigan Avery claimed third at 18-over 232.
