Twelve OGA competitors are set to compete for Team Oregon at the 14th PNGA Cup, held May 1-2 at Crosswater Club in Sunriver, Ore.

The squad representing the OGA will be attempting a repeat. A year ago, Team OGA cruised to another victory, its seventh title in the 13 year history of the event. The OGA's seven PNGA Cup titles are three more than the association with the next most (British Columbia Golf – three).

Each association has selected a 12-person team consisting of eight men and four women. The representation includes four mid-amateur men of 25 years of age or older, two men of 40 years or older, two senior men of 55 years or older, two mid-amateur women of 25 years or older and two senior women of 50 years or older.

Oregon’s PNGA Cup Team:

• Men – Mid-Amateur: Robbie Ziegler (Canby) Trevor Harding (Portland); Blake Seabaugh (Tigard); Travis Milleman (Portland)
• Women – Mid-Amateur: Tiffany Schoning (Bend); Rosie Cook (Bend)

The PNGA Cup was created in 2006 by past PNGA President Dr. Jack Lamey as a way of continuing the friendship and partnership of the region’s allied associations under the PNGA umbrella – British Columbia Golf, Idaho Golf Association, Oregon Golf Association and Washington State Golf Association. The first-ever PNGA Cup was held at Seattle Golf Club, with this year’s event marking the return to the famed club.

The annual Ryder Cup-style competition includes four-ball and foursome matches the first day and singles matches on the second and final day. With three matches for each player, the championship allows each competitor to compete against players from each of the other associations. Both men’s and women’s scores are used to determine the team result, as it is the only known event of its kind in the U.S.
