If there is a spot open for a standout golfer from Washington on any select all-star team, University Place's Andrew Putnam seems to find his way on it.

Putnam, the Life Christian Academy product who is entering his sophomore season at Pepperdine, was one of three players selected to represent the Pacific Northwest in the Morse Cup at the 42nd Pacific Coast Amateur next week.

He will join Oregon State product James Allenby and Canadian junior standout Eugene Wong as this region's participants for the Pacific Northwest Golf Association. The Northwest team has won the Morse Cup the past two years.

The Washington State Golf Association (WSGA) will have its own team, consisting of Bellevue's Richard Lee, Woodinville's Jarin Todd and Cle Elum's Dan Whitaker.

Some of the other locals invited include Tacoma's T.J. Bordeaux and recently-crowned U.S. Junior Amateur champion Cameron Peck, of Olympia. Calgary's Michael Knight was the 2007 winner.

Opening round play at the Pacific Coast Am begins Tuesday at Royal Colwood Golf Club in Victoria, B.C. The field consists of 88 players, and there is no cut in the event.

Position: Moore (4-under 140) is tied for 24th, 10 strokes behind leader Parker McLachlin (130).

Recap: The same stretch that gave the Puyallup golfer fits Thursday – Nos. 11-13 – Moore got back what he lost. He was 1-over during that span Thursday; in the second round, he had two birdies and a bogey to go 1-under. Moore missed one fairway all day, and had 27 putts en route to one of the better scores of the day, and moving up 30 spots on the leaderboard.

This week: Nationwide Tour's Cox Classic, Thursday through Sunday, Champions Run, Omaha, Neb.

Second-round score: 1-over-par 72.

Position: Putnam (3-under 139) missed the cut by one stroke. Ryan Hietala is the leader (126).

Recap: That pesky par-4 second hole. For the second consecutive day, the Tacoma native made a double bogey on that hole, and this time, it derailed his effort to make a sixth consecutive cut. He also made four other bogeys during his round.

Next: Wichita Open starting Thursday at Crestview Country Club in Wichita, Kan.
