The Washington Open was established in September 1922 at Yakima Country Club. When the championship was created, it was tied in with the Washington State Amateur so that professionals and amateurs would play with one another. The events remained together until the 1950’s. The Washington Open has accumulated an impressive list of repeat champions over the years. Chuck Congdon won five titles over four decades in 1939, 1947, 1950, 1952 and 1962. Al Mengert has won four times, including three consecutive wins from 1963-65. Long-remembered stand outs Bud Ward and Bob Duden have also had their fair share of the spotlight to name a few. Don Bies won three times, once as a club pro in 1959 and again in 1980 and 1987 after he retired from the PGA tour. Jeff Coston's victory in 2021 was his record-setting sixth, moving him out of a tie for most wins with Congdon. The current tournament record is 200 for the WA Open, set 5/18/2011 at Glendale CC by Tim Feenstra, tied by Jeff Gove on 5/23/2012 at Glendale CC, and tied again by Blake Snyder on 8/23/23 at Meridian Valley CC. The record previously was held by Chuck Milne, 202, set at Meridian Valley CC in 1976.
Most tournament wins: Jeff Coston (6): 1996, 1999, 2001, 2010, 2016, 2021
Most consecutive wins: Al Mengert (3): 1963, 1964, 1965
