Erdmann wins Pacific Northwest PGA Professional Championship; Wingett T-10th

WARRENTON, Ore. — PGA Professional Scott Erdmann of Oswego Lake Country Club won the Pacific Northwest PGA Professional Championship at Astoria Golf and Country Club, which concluded Thursday.

Erdmann shot a 17-under-par 199 (64-65-70), good for a two-shot victory over Daniell Campbell of Bellingham Golf and Country Club and Blake Kukula of Astoria Golf and Country Club. 

In addition to Erdmann, Campbell and Kukula, Casey King of Loophole Golf, Conner Robbins of Meadow Park GC, David Patterson of Orchard Hills CC and Josh Schothorne of Interbay Golf Center will advance directly to the 2027 PGA Professional Championship, to be held at Streamsong Golf Resort at Bowling Green, Fla., on April 25-28, 2027.  Bryce Fisher, Austin Hurt and Derek Berg are already exempt based on their play this last spring at the National PNC. 

Additionally, the low 20 scores at the 2027 PGA Professional Championship presented by Club Car, Corebridge Financial and Rolex will earn a place in the 109th PGA Championship in May, 2027.

Jess Wingett of The Highlands Golf Course in Post Falls finished tied for 10th at 11-under 205 (70-64-71). Brandon Drake of CDA National Reserve was 17th at 8-under 208 (71-69-68).
