Wanderscheid, using five birdies to go along with only two bogies to set the early pace, is no stranger to being atop the leaderboard. His summer has already included winning Medalist honors at the U.S. Open Local Qualifier, a 2nd place finish at the WJGA State Amateur Championship, advancing to the Round of 32 at the PNGA Men’s Amateur Championship, and an appearance at the U.S. Junior Boys’ Amateur Championship.

Right on Wanderscheid’s heels sitting one stroke back at 2-under par 70 is Sean McMullen of Kent, Wash. and Kent Hagen of Covington, Wash. In all, only five players were able to break par today on the challenging University of Idaho championship venue.

To be eligible for the Pacific Northwest Junior Boys’ Amateur Championship, contestants must not have reached their 18th birthday by the final day of the competition and also carry a handicap index of 24.4 or less.

The championship consists of 36 holes of stroke play qualifying to determine flights for the match play portion of the championship. The lowest 32 scorers from the qualifying rounds will advance to the Championship Flight, with each of the remaining flights being comprised of eight contestants. All matches are single-elimination and contested over 18 holes, except for the championship flight final match which will be played over 36-holes.

The PNGA Junior Boys’ Amateur Championship is one of 15 regional championships conducted annually by the PNGA. For more information about the PNGA and the Junior Boys’, you can visit www.thepnga.org.

The Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) was founded on February 4, 1899. It is a 501©3 charitable, international amateur golf association dedicated to preserving the true spirit of the game of golf and promoting activities beneficial to golfers in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The PNGA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of men and women, from private and public golf clubs, representing every geographic region of the Northwest. These Directors are elected by volunteer Club Representatives who are appointed by their clubs to be liaisons to the Association.

PNGA territory is broken down into five zones, which are: Zone 1 – Oregon; Zone 2 – Eastern Washington; Zone 3 – Western Washington and Alaska; Zone 4 British Columbia and Alberta; and Zone 5: Idaho and Montana. There are approximately 220,000 individuals at over 720 PNGA member golf clubs.

The original purpose of the PNGA was to conduct a regional amateur championship for men and women. For more than 110 years, the Association has been a pioneer in developing competitions and services and its mission has grown and evolved. Today, the PNGA remains committed to being a truly “regional” organization providing benefits and services to its members and member clubs throughout the Northwest.
