6th Annual Hood River Open

“The sixth annual Hood River Open saw many new firsts. We welcomed six first-time Hood River players, and crowned Dave Wiegand as the first player ever to win the tournament twice. Congratulations as well to Conrad Bassett-Bouchard, Rob Robinsky, and Chris Lipe for their strong finishes, and to Terry Kang for winning the class prize.”

- Jennifer Clinchy, Co-Director
