Warning: Higher seeds at the 109th Pacific Northwest Golf Association Men's Amateur championship were in plenty of danger Wednesday.
Nine of the top-20 seeds lost Wednesday in the opening round of match play at The Home Course in Dupont, including four golfers in the top 10 – No. 5 seed Cheng-Tsung Pan, No. 6 Derek Berg, No. 7 Jacob Koppenberg and No. 9 David Bunker.
Top-seeded Tyler Matthews, of Redmond, had no such issues. He won seven holes in a row to close out the front nine, and throttled 64th-seeded Gregory Moss, of Sherman Oaks, Calif., 5-and-4.
Locals T.J. Bordeaux, of Tacoma, and Olympia's Jarred Bossio, also advanced to today's second round. Bordeaux, the No. 20 seed, walloped Cle Elum's Dan Whitaker, 4-and-2. Bossio needed 19 holes, but the 56th seed upset Bunker, the reigning Canadian Mid-Amateur champion from Woodbridge, Ontario.
This week: PGA Tour's John Deere Classic, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Deere Run, Silvis, Ill.
World rankings: Moore is 118th; Kelly is 1,245th and Stanley is 715th.
Moore's 2009 earnings: $975,539 (51st on the PGA Tour).
Kelly's 2009 earnings: $11,178 (241st on the PGA Tour).
Stanley's 2009 earnings: $75,300 (197th on the PGA Tour).
Last tournament: Never before has Moore, the Puyallup product, had a three-week stretch on the PGA Tour that he's had the last three weeks – two top-10s, and a tied-for-11th at last week's AT&T National. A top-five finish this week likely would get him in the British Open. … Kelly, a Tacoma resident, has not cashed in his past nine events, and withdrew from the Travelers Championship in late June after an opening 76. … Stanley's professional debut was a tied-for-19th at the Travelers Championship (11-under 269), and he'll play this week and next week's U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee on sponsor's exemptions.
Moore's tee time Thursday: 5:19 a.m. PDT off the 10th tee with Notah Begay III and D.A. Points.
Kelly's tee time Thursday: 11:25 a.m. PDT off the 10th tee with Spencer Levin and Leif Olson.
Stanley's tee time Thursday: 11:35 a.m. PDT off the first tee with Derek Fathauer and Chris Stroud.
