Grace had the support of uncle Scott Baumgartner, right, in Tuesday’s win. Final four set in all divisions of the Oregon Coast Invitational The Astorian W ARRENTON — They’re down to the fi nal four in all fl ights of all divisions in the 2019 Oregon Coast Invita- tional, following Thursday’s action at the Astoria Golf & Country Club. Semifi nals in all divisions of the 109th annual tour- nament were scheduled for Friday. Two former champions in the Grand Champions divi- sion both advanced to the semifi nals, along with a cou- ple of new names. Jon Holzgang — the med- alist in qualifying over the weekend — continued his hot streak with a victory over Eric Larson in Thursday’s quarterfi nal action. Holzgang was scheduled to face two-time champion Jay Ross in one Friday semi- fi nal, while former cham- pion Anthony Arvidson was to take on Rex Puterbaugh of Columbia Edgewater. (The results will be online Friday night, and will appear in next Tuesday’s print edition of the Astorian.) Arvidson advanced with a win Thursday against Ilwa- co’s Patrick Whealdon, while Puterbaugh defeated Avery Keating. There were no surprising names in the Women’s fi nal four. Friday’s showdowns will include Amanda Jacobs against Gretchen Johnson, and Lara Tennant facing sis- LEFT: Jack Cartwright leans into a tee shot in Tuesday’s round of golf in the Super Seniors division. Cartwright advanced to the fi nal four of the championship fl ight after another victory Thursday. RIGHT: Jay Ross advanced to the quarterfi nals of the championship fl ight in the Grand Champions division, with a victory Wednesday over John DeLong. ter Cappy Mack. Jacobs (defeated Molly Edmunds) and Johnson (defeated Kat Magner) are certainly familiar with each other. Just last week, Johnson outlasted Jacobs, both of Portland, 2-up in match play to win the 18th Women’s Mid-Amateur, held at Arrow- head Golf Club in Molalla. On her march to another semifi nal appearance (and seeking her 12th OCI title), Lara Tennant had to defeat her daughter, Grace Tennant, in Thursday’s match play. And now Lara Tennant was to face sister Cappy Mack in a Friday semifi nal. Between them, the two have won 14 Oregon Coast Invita- tional championships. In other quarterfi nal action Thursday, winners in the championship fl ight of the Women’s Seniors divi- sion included Wendy Storlie (def. Peggy Wobbrock), Zeta Rennie (def. Mary Swingle), defending champion Dotty Johnson (def. Cathi Barta) and Mary Jacobs (def. Linette Weislogel). Elsewhere, Paul Gulick, Bret Stevens, Randy Heriot and Tom Mulfl ur were vic- torious in the championship fl ight of the Seniors division. And the Super Seniors fi nal four features Gaylord Davis vs. Michael Terrell, and Jack Cartwright vs. John Lewis. Wednesday’s action The Grand Champion and Junior/Senior golfers returned to the links Wednes- day, on Day 3 of match play. And the second round of match play for the Grand Champions brought some big victories for some former OCI champions, and a few big losses for others. Qualifying medalist Jon Holzgang backed up his No. 1 seed with another win, as Veteran center Pau Gasol, 39, has agreed to a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. “Pau is a future Hall of Famer that brings invalu- able championship experi- ence and an elite skill set and basketball IQ to our roster,” said Neil Olshey, president of basketball operations. Despite his age, Gasol is an accomplished veteran with a track record of suc- cess in the NBA. He won back-to-back championships alongside Kobe Bryant with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010. As a six-time NBA All- Star and a four-time All- NBA selection, Gasol will bring a veteran presence to the locker room and could see minutes at the center position alongside the Trail Blazers’ newest addition, Hassan Whiteside, and blos- soming young talent Zach Collins. He also provides an able body in the frontcourt as they await the return of injured starting center Jusuf Nurkic. Gasol last played for the San Antonio Spurs and Milwaukee Bucks during the 2018-19 season, but appeared in just 30 games. He started the season and played in nine games for the Spurs until a stress fracture in his right foot forced him to miss the next 26 games. He was eventually released by the Spurs in a buyout agreement, and two days later signed with the Bucks.

In a tweet Wednesday afternoon, Gasol said he is “ready and happy to join one of the best teams in the league.” In 2016, we fetched 103 photos; in 2017 we romped home with 207 shots of more than 230 critters.
