PGA Professional Jamie Hall earned his first PNWPGA major victory at the Pelzer Golf Oregon Open Invitational with a steady and confident performance at Aspen Lakes Golf Club in Sisters, Oregon. The three-day event, held June 10–12, culminated in a thrilling finish as Hall held off defending champion Russell Grove in the final pairing to take home the title. Hall posted rounds of 64-72-68 for a 204 total—12-under par—to be crowned champion.
This year’s win held special significance for Hall, who missed the cut in last year’s Oregon Open. “Feels awesome. It’s always fun to win,” Hall said after the final round. “Last year I missed the cut by a million and left Bend with a sour taste in my mouth, so I came into this tournament hoping to get a little revenge, and I feel like I was able to do that.”
Looking ahead, Hall is eager to carry this momentum into the rest of the season. “I felt like the game had been close for a while, but I hadn’t been able to either hit the clutch shot or make the clutch putt to get the job done,” he explained. “So executing in those moments last week gives me nothing but confidence going into the next tournament and the rest of the season.”
Despite the pressure of a tight leaderboard and playing in the final group with defending champion Russell Grove, Hall stayed mentally composed on the final day. “Honestly, I never let the emotions get too crazy during the final round. I tried to just focus on sticking to the game plan and not get ahead of myself. Outside a few brief instances, I felt like I did a great job of that.”
Hall also contributed to the Team Championship, where he joined forces with his brother, amateur William Hall (PNW Golf Academy), PGA Professional Nicholas Long (Overlake G&CC), and amateur Sam Varon (TaylorMade Golf). The team fired a remarkable 35-under-par 253 to win the team competition by six strokes.
In the Four-Ball competition, PGA Professional Alexander Mroz and amateur Jay Harrison (Inglewood GC) claimed the title with a 15-under-par score over the first two days, edging out Jamie and William Hall in a USGA tie-breaker.
When asked about the team competition, Jamie credited the strong dynamic with his teammates, particularly the chance to compete alongside his brother, for setting the tone for a successful tournament. “It definitely did. We had a great team dynamic for the first two days, and that for sure carried over into the third day. Anytime I get to tee it up with my brother, it’s a great time. With him also playing well, we were able to kind of ride each other’s momentum. That’s what makes this format so much fun.”
The Pacific Northwest PGA is proud to welcome Pelzer Golf as the title sponsor of the Oregon Open Invitational, with additional support from presenting sponsors Nikon Golf and Strackaline, and supporting sponsors Legendary Headwear and the PGA Tour. Special thanks to host site Aspen Lakes Golf Club and PGA Director of Golf Howie Pruitt for their outstanding hospitality.

The 38th Rosauers Open Invitational took place July 18–20, 2025, at Indian Canyon Golf Course in Spokane, Washington, where PGA Professional Daniel Campbell of Bellingham G&CC captured his second Rosauers title.
Campbell carded rounds of 68-65-66—199, edging out a competitive field to win by a single stroke over PGA Professional Conner Robbins, the 2023 champion, and amateur Andrew Von Lossow, the 2024 champion. Von Lossow earned Low Amateur honors.
It was a tight battle on the final day, but Campbell’s steady play and strong finish secured the victory at 14-under par.
Reflecting on the victory, Campbell shared how gratifying it was to return to the winner’s circle, especially after a near-miss last year.
“I was close last year here at Rosauers and also at the Northwest Open,” he said. “To finally win another major feels great. All of the practicing and belief in my abilities paid off.”
While his first Rosauers win three years ago holds a special place in his memory, Campbell noted that this year’s event brought added challenges.
“The first one will always be special, but this year was a lot more difficult because of how tight the leaderboard was. With so many great players within four to five shots of the lead, anyone could’ve gone low and run away with it. But with how the course was playing and the difficult pins, no one was able to pull away.”
Campbell’s familiarity with Indian Canyon was evident, especially off the tee.
“I’m very comfortable hitting a right-to-left shot, which really suits this course,” he explained. “Irons and wedges can always improve, but the biggest part of my game that pairs well with Indian Canyon is my putting. Being able to read the greens and match line and pace is one of my biggest strengths, and this is a course where you have to be focused and committed on every putt.”
Heading into the final round, with several players close behind, Campbell stayed grounded in his routine but adjusted his mindset.
“My preparation was the same as the first two rounds—I try not to treat it any differently,” he said. “The only thing that changed was my mindset. My goal going into the round was to get to -16, but it turned out -14 was enough.”
In addition to his tournament play, Campbell also participated in both days of the event’s Pro-Am, which raises funds for Vanessa Behan, a Spokane-based charity supporting children and families in crisis. This year’s Pro-Am raised an impressive $170,000, pushing the event’s all-time charitable total past $3.97 million.
“Being a part of the Pro-Am is incredible. It’s one of my favorite events of the year,” said Campbell. “Meeting and connecting with sponsors and vendors, and seeing how excited everyone is to play—it shows how important this event and charity are to the community. The amount of local support every year is amazing. It’s special to participate in something like this.”
The Franz Bakery Pro-Am, held in the two days leading up to the Rosauers Open, featured 63 teams—each comprised of one Pacific Northwest PGA Professional and four sponsor amateurs.
The sponsor team from Bernatello’s and Umpqua Dairy took home the Team Championship title, led by PGA Professional Brian Thornton of Meridian Valley CC with amateurs Andrew Owings, Tim Valdez, Marty Weaver, and Scott Nance.
Anton Underwood of Manito G&CC earned Low Professional honors in the Pro-Am with a 9-under-par 62, edging out Campbell by one stroke.
Since 1988, the Rosauers Open Invitational has been a cornerstone of the Pacific Northwest Section’s tournament calendar. Special thanks to PGA Professional Doug Phares, host professional at Indian Canyon Golf Course, and his outstanding staff for their hospitality and preparation throughout the week. We also extend our gratitude to our generous sponsors, Rosauers Supermarkets and Franz Bakery, whose continued support makes this event and its charitable impact possible.
