UNIVERSITY PLACE — Camas High grad and Boise State golfer Brian Humphreys, Evergreen High grad Will Snow, and UCLA golfer Cole Madey of West Linn, Ore., will represent the Oregon Golf Association at this year’s Morse Cup Team Competition, taking place simultaneously during the 51st Pacific Coast Amateur Championship at Chambers Bay Golf Course.

This year’s Pacific Coast Amateur Championship is July 18-21 with the Morse Cup taking place the first two days of the 72-hole competition. The best two of three scores from each team will count for the Morse Cup portion of the event.

Humphreys has had an outstanding past two years in OGA competitions, as well as a stellar freshman year at Boise State. He became the first Mountain West Conference freshman to win the individual title at the conference tournament in 2017. In OGA events, he’s advanced to the finals of the Oregon Amateur two-consecutive years, falling to Madey in this year’s championship. He also advanced to 2017 U.S. Open sectional qualifying, and finished tied for third in the 2016 Oregon Men’s Stroke Play Championship.

Snow is a former golfer and soccer player at Concordia University in Portland. In 2016, Snow earned a tie for medalist honors at the OGA Men’s Team Championship, and also advanced to the semifinals with his playing partner at the Oregon Amateur Four-Ball Championship. In 2017, Snow has had plenty of success — finishing runner-up at the 2017 OGA Tournament of Champions, earning a top-10 finish in stroke play qualifying at the 108th Oregon Amateur, advancing to the quarterfinals of the match play portion of the event.

Madey, a rising junior at UCLA, won the Oregon Amateur at The Oregon Golf Club in West Linn just last month. His dominating performance showed through both stroke play qualifying, in which he won medalist honors, and match play, never playing the 18th hole during the six matches he played. Adding to his recent success, last week Madey qualified for this year’s U.S. Amateur Championship to be held later this summer.

The team representing the Pacific Northwest Golf Association features two Oregon natives and OGA competitors — Sulman Raza (Eugene, Ore.) and Dylan Wu (Medford, Ore.). Raza won the 2015 Oregon Men’s Stroke Play Championship, while Wu finished runner-up in the 2015 Oregon Amateur. The two were both members of last year’s OGA Morse Cup squad.
