For the first time in nearly a decade a Vermonter sits atop New England's amateur golf ranks.
Just two weeks after adding to his trophy case, Jared Nelson brought home more hardware. The 22-year-old Rutland Country Club star finished the three-day tournament 8-under par to claim the 93rd annual New England Amateur Golf Championship at Alpine Country Club in Rhode Island on Wednesday.
Nelson won the Vermont Amateur in the beginning of July and finished one stroke better than second place to win the New England tournament.
