Jhared Hack, of Sanford, became the second-youngest player to win the Western Amateur Championship at Point O'Woods Golf & Country Club in Michigan last week.
Hack, an incoming freshman at the University of Central Florida, defeated Alex Prugh 1 up in the final match. In the grueling Western Amateur, Hack played four rounds of stroke play followed by four matches en route to capturing this major Championship. Hack is also one of two players to win the Western Junior and Western Amateur in back-to-back years since the Western Golf Association started the national junior championship.
Hack tied for 3rd place in this year’s Florida State Amateur and won the 2003 13-15 age division of the Junior Match Play Invitational.
The University of Florida’s Billy Horschel was selected to represent the USA team for the 2007 Walker Cup Match in Ireland next month. Horschel, 20, of Grant, will be a junior this coming fall at UF and is a two-time first team All-American.
