PGA teaching professional Rob Clark, of Wenatchee Golf and Country Club, won the Northwest Open Invitational in an exciting two-hole playoff Wednesday at Meadow Springs Country Club in Richland.

Clark and Pat Howard, of Overlake G&CC, tied at 10-under-par 206. Clark, a former Asian Tour player, won the playoff with a par on the 10th hole.

"I think they say it's the oldest tournament in (the PGA) section," Clark told the Tri-City Herald. "It's great having my name on the trophy. There are a lot of big names on it."

Defending champion Jeff Coston (Semiahmoo), Ryan Malby (Village Greens) and Jason Aichele (Meadow Springs) finished tied for third, and one stroke out of the playoff.
