Lee, Todd, Whitaker Washington State Golf Association, represented by Richard Lee, Jarin Todd and Dan Whitaker, rallied to defeat two-time defending champion Pacific Northwest GA by two shots and win the annual Morse Cup team competition, Wednesday. Held concurrently with the first two rounds of the Pacific Coast Amateur Championship, the competition's format sees the top two rounds from three counting. Washington State GA overcame a five-shot deficit, shooting 137-133 — 270, while the PNGA could manage only an even-par 140 and finished at 272. Lee posted a 6-under-par 66 in the second round and Todd finished with 67; Dan Whitaker’s even-par 70 wasn’t even needed for the team total. The PNGA could have tied or overtaken Washington State but Andrew Putnam finished bogey-quadruple bogey. The win was Washington State’s third in the last five years. The PNGA had won the last two Cups and was bidding to become the first association to win three in a row since Northern California won four titles in the 1990s.
