Kelton Hirsch hits from a bunker during the final round of the Utah State Amateur Golf Tournament at Ogden Country Club in Ogden on Saturday, July 15, 2017.
OGDEN — It wasn’t like Kelton Hirsch had any notions at the start of the week that he was going to win the Utah State Amateur golf tournament at Ogden Golf & Country Club
“I thought I had a chance, but it was going to take a lot of good golf,” he said of his pre-tournament expectations.
The light finally came on at the end of his semifinal match Friday when he rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole to beat defending champion and pre-tournament favorite Patrick Fishburn.
