Oregon Open/2025
Jamie Hall Claims Oregon Open in Thrilling Finish
by by Keegan Williamson, Tournament Intern
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.”
