History of the Championship
It all started when a young head professional named John Junor and his amateur partner won back-to-back titles at the magnificent Seattle Golf Club in 1924 and 1926 (no championship in 1925). Professional Walter Pursey and amateur Harry Givan topped Junor in the late 30’s with a three-peat victory at Seattle GC twice and Alderwood GC once. As the years went on, many great players etched their names into the record books as champions of this event. Long time professional Don Bies and his partners have seen numerous championships winning three of them in 1961 at Glendale CC, 1964 at Seattle GC, and in 1966 at Yakima CC. Other greats such as Bunny Mason (1963) and Jerry Mowlds (1969, 1978) have all had their share of the title.

Bandon Dunes
Bandon Dunes is true to the spirit of Scotland’s ancient links. Six distinct link courses have been conceived in harmony with the natural environment. It began in 1999 with the opening of Bandon Dunes. Designed by Scotsman David McLay Kidd, the course is perched on a bluff high above the Pacific Ocean where mother nature’s ever presence had already laid the blueprint for what would become one of golf’s most iconic courses. The routing teases all of your senses before turning back home to the epicenter of the resort, unfolding along pristine native dunes where expansive ocean views are revealed numerous times during your journey. Beyond breathtaking scenery lies the game of golf in its truest form. This is a thinker’s course. Winds are ever-present, and the varying elements create a new experience each time you play.
