Course Insight

Pumpkin Ridge has 36 holes, including the public Ghost Creek course and the private Witch Hollow. Architect Bob Cupp designed Witch Hollow to blend harmoniously with its natural surroundings in the shadows of the Cascade Mountains. The layout’s undulating fairways weave through fir, maple, oak and ash trees, with numerous wetland areas and a variety of ponds, lakes and streams adding to the beauty and the challenge. The course has hosted many events, including the 1996 U.S. Amateur won by Tiger Woods, the 1997 and 2003 U.S. Women’s Opens, the 2009-12 LPGA Safeway Classic, and is in its third year hosting the Web.com Tour.

How Dicky Pride Won 2015

The tournament came down to a battle between former PGA TOUR winners in their mid-40s, with 46-year-old Dicky Pride prevailing over Tim Herron, 45. Pride, whose only PGA TOUR victory came in his rookie season of 1994, led second-place Herron by four strokes entering the final round and a closing 67 was good for a 20-under total of 264 and a three-stroke victory. Pride holed a 60-foot eagle putt on the par-5 11th to go ahead by five, and cruised in from there. Herron, a four-time winner on the PGA TOUR, shot a final-round 66. Another former PGA TOUR winner, 40-year-old Tommy Gainey, closed with a 65 and claimed third place at 269. • Pride was the oldest player to win on the Web.com Tour in 2015 and the 10th oldest ever. The oldest was 49-year-old Kirk Triplett at the 2011 News Sentinel Open.
