One of the nation’s top amateur golf tournaments begins Tuesday at the Seattle Golf Club.
The Pacific Coast Amateur has a field of 87 and will be 72 holes of stroke play –—18 holes a day — concluding Friday.
The tournament has roots back to 1901 but was discontinued before being resuscitated at the Seattle Golf Club in 1967. That makes this year’s tournament the 50th year of the rebirth and explains why the return to the Seattle Golf Club is no coincidence.
Corey Pereira, who will be a University of Washington senior in the fall, won the event in 2014 and is entered.
