Derek Gutierrez, Plainfield West Golf Course, 21 holes In the morning semifinal, Hodgson defeated Barnes Blake, 5&4. I want to play in college but mostly get good grades in school and play well for our team.”

Heading into his senior year at Bergen Catholic High School, Hodgson has his sights set on something bigger. “I had a bunch of mental notes going throughout the day and I hit the ball well of the tee too and had some good putts drop," said Hodgson. Three playoff holes in, a par for Hodgson would be the deciding factor, winning the 102nd edition of the storied championship. After playing holes 1 and 2, thunder and lightning required a weather delay. After the suspension, the two returned to the golf course to close out the duel. On the 18th hole, Hodgson turned in a par, while Gutierrez recorded a bogey, which would tie the match and force extra holes. “I was just trying to two-putt on the 17th hole, but it went in.” “I felt pretty confident in myself the whole time,” Hodgson explained. He hit his tee shot hole-high and proceeded to drain a 30-foot putt for birdie and win the hole. Hole 17, the infamous Biarritz par-3 was no test for Hodgson. Then 2-down with two to play, Hodgson stormed back by winning 17 and 18. At the turn, Gutierrez, an incoming freshman at Rutgers University, led 3-up.Īmongst heavy rain, Hodgson slowly chipped away at his deficit. Trailing for a majority of the finale, Hodgson remained within close distance of Gutierrez. “I'm just thankful I could play in this event and looking forward to working hard and keep getting better.” A post shared by NJ State Golf Association feels good,” said Gutierrez.
