After a week of thrilling competition at one of Oregon’s most historic venues, the 116th Oregon Amateur Championship has crowned its champions. Zach Foushee made history by winning his third consecutive title, a feat not achieved since 1932 by Frank Dolp, while Kyra Ly added a second Oregon Amateur crown to her name with a dominant run through match play. Both champions navigated a grueling stretch of quarterfinals, semifinals, and 36-hole finals at Tualatin Country Club through difficult conditions and as the championship-ready golf course tested every facet of their game.
Men’s Championship
Quarterfinals
Zach Foushee continued his relentless march through the bracket, defeating friend and U.S. Amateur Four-Ball partner Robbie Ziegler, 4&3. Boise State standout Cole Rueck took a commanding early lead and closed out a 3&2 win over Brock Maulding, while recent high school graduate Jennings Oelke took down reigning Oregon Junior Amateur Champion Nilay Naik, 2&1. In the most dramatic match of the round, Taylor Klopp survived 22 holes before overcoming Jonathan Lai—the longest match of the championship.
Semifinals
Foushee faced a formidable opponent in Rueck, trailing after five holes before flipping the script by winning five of the next ten. On the other side of the bracket, Oelke delivered a clinic, losing only one hole and winning four straight from 10–12 to cruise past Klopp, 6&5.
Final: Foushee Makes History
With weather delays adding to the challenge on Friday, Saturday’s 36-hole final saw Zach Foushee square off against one of the youngest finalists in championship history, Jennings Oelke. Foushee came out blazing, winning six holes in the morning session without dropping a single one. He extended his lead early in the afternoon, and while Oelke made brief surges by winning the 4th and 6th holes, Foushee quickly responded—claiming the 8th, 9th, and 10th holes to seal a 10&8 victory.
By winning, Foushee becomes the first player since Frank Dolp in 1932 to win three consecutive Oregon Amateur titles. His road to the title included wins over Zach Wilson, Mason Ho, Landon Banks, Robbie Ziegler, Cole Rueck, and Jennings Oelke. He also earned medalist honors in stroke play qualifying.
Foushee’s victory secures his spot in the 2025 U.S. Amateur Championship, hosted at The Olympic Club in San Francisco from August 11–17.
