Team Washington Grabs Third Place

Tue., Aug. 18, 1998

Reid Hatley of Spokane helped Washington finish third in the Eddie Hogan Cup Team junior golf tournament that wound up a two-day run Monday in Portland.

Hatley, an All-Greater Spokane League first-team selection, who will be a senior at Ferris, shot 73-77 for 150, second best on the Washington team and good for a top-6 overall individual finish. Team leader Derek Berg of Duvall shot 149 for fifth overall.

Washington had a team total of 452, 15 shots back of winner Northern California. Idaho was sixth at 470.

Corey Prugh of Spokane qualified at the IZZO Colorado Junior Qualifier conducted by the American Junior Golf Association in Westminster, Colo.

Prugh, a second-team All-GSL choice and a junior-to-be at Ferris, shot a 4-over-par 76 at Legacy Ridge Golf Course. The IZZO Colorado Junior Roundup begins Wednesday.
