But when Devillers and Johnson beat Dylan Frazier and Matthew Chou in two games, Devilliers and Johnson got some revenge in the final.

Stratman, playing in her 11th event on the APP Tour this season, will extend her lead in the standings over second-place Lea Jansen. Esquivel will make a push to get into the top-five after teaming up for gold with Stratman.

Watch for Sperling to close the gap in the senior standings. Sperling entered the Pacific Northwest only about 800 points behind leader Rick Witsken.
