SPOKANE, Wash. -- Gonzaga men's golfers Will Brueckner and David Ganz both recently finished their respective state amateur championships in match play stages.

Brueckner tied for 25th through stoke play at the California Amateur Championships at the Lake Merced Golf Club. The par-72 course played 6,840 yards. In Daly City, Calif., the upcoming sophomore finished the two rounds of stroke play at two-over-par (146). He carded a 71 (-1) on the first 18 holes, before ending Round 2 at three-over (+3). Brueckner birdied seven holes and had 20 pars through the first 36 holes. The Walnut Creek, Calif. native, was three-under on the course's four par-five holes.

Seeded-31st in the match-play bracket, Brueckner competed very well with second-seeded Jake Knapp. The duo was even through eight holes at two-under, and then Brueckner took a one-hole lead after winning the ninth. Knapp, a junior at UCLA, tied the matchup by winning the 11th-hole. Both golfers shot even-par on the following four holes, until Knapp won the final two holes to take the match 2 and 1.

"Being the best amateur in California has always been my goal, and I love match play, so the state amateur is my favorite tournament of the year," Brueckner said. "This year I didn't have as much success as I did last year, but I'm seeing improvements in my game that will serve me well for this next Gonzaga season, so I'm stoked."

Cal's Shotaro Ban took medalist honors after entering the match play bracket as the 25th-seed. He beat out 26th-seeded Joshua Sedeno, 5 and 4. Satch Herrmann topped the leaderboard through stroke play at eight-under (136). He was upset in the round of 16.

On June 4, Ganz tied for sixth at the first Oregon Amateur Championship qualifier in Banks. Ore. He was one of the 27 qualifiers from the Quail Valley Golf Course to advance to stroke play for the OGA Amateur Championships.

Ganz tied for 19th through the 36 holes of stroke play at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club in Aloha, Ore. He shot one-under (143) in the first 36 holes on the 6,838-yard par-71 course. The upcoming sophomore was one-under in Round 2. He had four of his nine birdies in the round, and eagled the par-five sixth hole. Ganz finished stroke play with 18 pars.

In match play, Ganz was battled with David Patterson before falling, 3 and 2. Ganz opened with the lead, winning the first hole, but Patterson took the lead and held off Ganz through the final 14 holes.
