Burcham medals at 123rd PNGA Men’s Amateur; match-play bracket set
Sunriver, Ore. – Dylan Burcham of Valencia, Calif., shot rounds of 69-66 (-8) to earn medalist honors at the 123rd PNGA Men’s Amateur Championship, being held this week at Sunriver (Ore.) Resort. The championship is being administered by the Pacific Northwest Golf Association.
Burcham, a rising sophomore at Washington State University, had only one bogey over the 36 holes of stroke-play qualifying on the resort’s Woodlands and Meadows courses.

Davis Trophy for his efforts, Burcham will enter the match-play portion of the championship as the No. 1 seed, searching for his first PNGA title.
The field, cut to 64 players, will begin that opening match-play round tomorrow, July 17, on the Meadows course. All matches will be single elimination, with each match contested over 18 holes.
