1999

When former PGA Tour performer Bill Porter (Lakeview CC) looks back on his 1999 Rosauers Open title, he'll remember the 7 under par second round that propelled him to the championship. After opening with a 4 under par 67, the Quincy, Washington professional built a 6 shot lead thanks to 5 birdies on the front nine on Saturday. A 6 shot lead going into the final day is comfortable, but with the nuances at Indian Canyon the tournament was far from over.

In that final round on Sunday, Porter struggled to one over par on that same front nine and watched as his lead dwindled to a single shot over 1997 champion Jeff Coston (Semiahmoo G&CC). Porter gained some breathing room with an eagle on the par 5 12th, then played par golf the rest of the way in to finish at a strong 12 under par. Todd Erwin (Performance Golf) eagled the final hole to post a Sunday best 6 under par 65, and wound up tied for 2nd with Coston, 2 shots behind Porter.

Brent Murray (Oswego Lake CC), the only player to post 3 scores in the 60s finished 3rd, 3 shots back. Past champions Jeff Freeman (Tamarisk CC) and Chris Mitchell (Tumwater Valley CC) finished in the top 10, with Craig Schuh (Deer Park G&CC) the top Spokane area finisher, 6 shots behind Porter.

Kent Brown added another Rosauers Open low amateur trophy to his collection.
