TORRINGTON, Conn. (July 31, 2013) -- Jason Hogan of Watertown Golf Club took home low amateur honors after shooting rounds of 68-73-71 for a four under-par total of 212.
Hogan finished in a tie for eighth place, two clear of John VanDerLaan, who was the next lowest amateur at two-under par. Hogan, a rising junior at Fordham University, was playing in his first Connecticut Open Championship, and made it a memorable one at that.
After an opening 68, Hogan was poised to have a chance to become the first amateur since Jeff Hedden in 2008 to capture the championship.
