Victoria, British Columbia (Wednesday, May 4, 2012) – The Oregon Golf Association (OGA) pulled away from British Columbia Golf (B.C. Golf) in the singles matches on Friday to claim the 7
th Annual PNGA Cup at Victoria’s Gorge Vale Golf Club and continue their recent dominance.
B.C. Golf closed the gap to 1½ points late on Friday but Eric Fiskum of the OGA sealed the deal with a 3&2 victory over Darren Kuhn of the IGA as the OGA became the first association to win the Cup three straight years. The OGA ended the two-day championship with 16 points and a 2½ point victory over B.C. Golf, who finished alone in 2
nd place.
The WSGA could not overcome the four point deficit despite a solid showing in the singles matches. The first point of the day for the WSGA side came from Larry Daniels of Seattle, who knocked off Gordon Barry of B.C. Golf, 5&4. Lisa Smego of Olympia followed with a 4&3 victory over Loree McKay of the OGA, and Tom Brandes of Bellevue completed an undefeated week by knocking off Bob Wheeler of the IGA, 4&2. Ginny Burkey of Fircrest also provided a boost when she held on for a 2up victory over Terri Frohnmayer of the OGA. However, there was simply too much ground to make up as the WSGA finished the 2012 PNGA Cup in 3
rd place.
