Chan Kim, a sophomore at Arizona State and the 2008 Arizona Amateur champion, birdied his final hole to win the 43rd Pacific Coast Amateur Championship at The Gallery Golf Club in Tucson, Ariz.

Kim's 17-under-par 271 total was one stroke better than Zack Sucher, of Mobile, Ala., who held at least a share of the lead in each of first three rounds before losing it late to Kim.

Tacoma's Andrew Yun shot the day's best round – 7-under 65 – tying the course record, and finishing tied for fifth at 275.

In the three-play team competition, the Washington State Golf Association (Richard Lee, Jarin Todd and Dan Whitaker) won with a total of 281, edging the Pacific Northwest Golf Association (Andrew Putnam, Cameron Peck and Darren Wallce) by one stroke.

Next year's tournament will be held at Eugene Country Club.

This week: PGA Tour's Buick Open, Thursday through Sunday, Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club, Grand Blanc, Mich.

Moore's second-round score: 1-over-par 73.

Kelly's second-round score: 1-under 71.

Position: Moore (142) and Kelly (143) missed the cut. John Senden leads at 14-under 130.

Recap: Moore, of Puyallup, quickly got to 6-under for the tournament with three consecutive birdies on Nos. 12 through 14 before an untimely bogey at the par-4 15th started a four-bogey, no-birdie run the rest of the way. … Kelly had it worse on the 15th hole. He was 3-under and one stroke away from making the cut before driving in the right rough. He had to punch out and ended up with a double bogey.

Next: Kelly is in at the Reno-Tahoe Open starting Thursday at Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno, Nev. Moore is off next week, but will play in the PGA Championship starting Aug. 13 in Minnesota
