Even in the unrelenting rain on Sunday, University of Oregon alumnus Zach Foushee had more fun playing golf than he has in a long time.
Foushee turned professional in 2017 after helping the Ducks to a NCAA Championship in 2016. It was a grueling few years trying to make it as a professional golfer. At the 64th annual Royal Oaks Invitational Tournament in Vancouver this week, Foushee returned to his amateur roots.
In his first amateur event in five years, Foushee torched a soggy Royal Oaks Country Club for a tournament-record 12-under to beat the field by 10 strokes.

Cross country runners can breathe easier now.
The state has altered health guidelines regarding mask wearing, now allowing participants in high school cross country meets to drop their masks from covering their face once a race begins.
That should come as welcomed news for runners in the 4A/3A Greater St. Helens League, which are scheduled to hold its first cross country meets on Wednesday. The 2A GSHL will hold season-opening meets on Thursday.
