BC Leading 40th Eddie Hogan Cup Team Matches

British Columbia leads the field with a team total of 1-under par 215 while Kwon is in a second place tie in individual competition at 2-under par 70.

Bryson Dechambeau of Clovis, Calif. tops the lindividual leaderboard at 3-under 33-36--69 helping his Northern California team to be just 1-stroke off the pace set by BC.  Also in the hunt two strokes back are teams from Hawaii and Utah.
 
Since the Hogan Cup became a regional competition in 1972, Northern California has won the event 13 times.  However, British Columbia has a strong team this year, having won the Junior Americas Cup last month at Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz, Calif. The defending Hogan Cup champions from Oregon I are far off the lead, in a tie with Southern California at 12-over par 228. 

The Hogan Cup 36-hole team matches pit the best junior golfers from the Western United States and Canada against each other in a team format with the three lowest scores each day determining the team total.  Medals are awarded to the top three teams as well as the top three individuals in the field.

Teams are often selected from performance points lists established by each association in order to award opportunities to compete in regional events to their best players.  Numerous PGA Tour players are Hogan Cup alumni including Tiger Woods who won the event in 1990.

The Hogan Cup began in 1969 in commemoration of the vast achievements and contributions to the sport by Eddie Hogan, their long-time head golf professional who served the club from 1939 until his tragic drowning death in 1968.  Hogan, an Oregon Amateur champion and PNGA Amateur Champion, was credited for transforming the role of the golf professional, developing what is now considered the standard for the green grass pro shop.  Hogan was also dedicated in helping the Oregon Golf Association develop its widely-recognized junior golf program.
